About GoBackpacking
GoBackpacking was the brainchild of a guy name Dave who currently lives in Northern Virginia. After graduating from college in 1998, he embarked on the adventure of his lifetime -
backpacking for 2 months in Europe. To make a long story short, his companions decided to head home early, and Dave spent the final 5 1/2 weeks traveling solo. He learned a lot about himself and other
cultures during this time.
After arriving home in September of 1998, he had no clue as to what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. In fact, he would have been happy to enter retirement at the age of 21.
Unfortunately, that was not a possibility, so he decided to build a web site instead of looking for a job. After transcribing his entire 50+ day travel journal onto the web, he began working for CareerBuilder. With a stable job, Dave decided to build on his original web site, by focusing on travel advice through feature articles rather than
his lengthy journal. Dave has decided to commit his free time and extra savings toward providing you with a community focused around budget travel.
