Do You Wish Your Blog Paid For Your Vacations?

Dave’s Journey

My name is Dave Lee (@rtwdave), and pursuing my travel dreams has taken me to 50 countries. From the black sand beaches of Tahiti to the Himalaya of Nepal, I blogged my way around the world for 20 months.

I began the Go Backpacking blog in January 2007, while working as a Customer Service Manager for a health insurance company. As I studied best practices and built relationships with bloggers, my social life went down the drain.

When it came time to travel, I applied everything I learned and built Go Backpacking into one of today’s top travel blogs.

Earnings (2007 – 2010)

Online Income and Travel Opportunities

• Earning $4,500 per month
• Press trips to Indonesia, Rwanda, Patagonia, the Amazon and more

GoBackpacking.com

• Receives 200,000 page views per month

Because I learned how to make money with a travel blog, I’m now able to enjoy the freedom of living wherever I want (currently Medellin), and traveling whenever I want. Now it’s your turn.

Michael’s Journey
