On January 30th, 2013, I changed my life forever. This was the date when I registered The Broke Backpacker domain and started working on my dream: a travel blog that was pretty different from the rest.

I spent several years travelling the world on $10 a day, and over time, The Broke Backpacker grew beyond my wildest dreams. Since then, I've travelled a LOT whilst also growing and experimenting as an...

Hatton The Third, Count of Absurdistan, and I wish to inform you that a great fortune has been made available to me as of late, totalling US$27,000,000 (Twenty Seven Million United States Dollars).

Not all places are made equal. And some are just too hot to handle. Or maybe we’re too soft. You tell us 😉...

The real broke backpacker side. Happier with less. HOW to Travel for FREE:No Money, No Problems! - Sponsored -It's not "on a budget"...
