Why I’m Traveling

Welcome.

This is the first post of Lifeasabackpacker.com (also the first blog I’m taking seriously). My name is Ryan, and I left a career in television news to travel the world. When I tell most people this story, many are supportive. Others give me the crazy eyes and ask, “Why?” I say why not.

The time to travel is now. I’m a single 27 year old without any debt and a dream to reach all seven continents before I die. I welcome you to follow me on my journey and perhaps I can give you some advice to make your own travel dreams come true.

But before that negative voice sets in, just remember you will always think of a million reasons why you shouldn’t do something. Always remember to “just go.”
