My name is David Lee (@rtwdave), and pursuing my travel dreams has taken me to over 30 countries.  From the black sand beaches of Tahiti to the the Himalaya of Nepal, I blogged my way around the world for 20 months on GoBackpacking.com.

I began the Go Backpacking blog in January 2007, while working as a Customer Service Manager for a Fortune 50 health insurance company.  My goal was to document the planning involved for my upcoming trip around the world, while learning how to blog effectively.

As I soaked up best practices, studied internet marketing strategies, and built relationships with fellow travel bloggers, my social life went down the drain.  I became addicted to blogging, and a Friday night tweaking code in a WordPress theme was suddenly my idea of a good time.

When it came time to travel, I applied everything I learned, and thus built Go Backpacking into one of the most popular independent travel blogs on the internet today.

I am excited to turn my passion for blogging into a valuable service for modern travelers.  I created Travel Blog Success as a way to coach travelers interested in developing successful blogs, whether they measure success in terms of readers or revenue.
