About Nomadic Backpacker
Short version: Travelling the world since 1992, currently in Mexico. 98 countries visited - explored extensively. Long Term Traveller & Content Creator!
I've been on the road (this time) since January 6. I travelled down through France during the month-long strike, took a boat to Tunisia, flew to Senegal. Backpacked my way to Mali and Ivory Coast. I flew to Kenya and then spent 105 days in Naivasha as the world locked down.
I took a 1000$ evac flight to Amsterdam and went straight to Serbia. I spent 5 months in the Balkans. Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia where I had to isolate having unwittingly shared a dorm room with someone who tested +ve for Covid-19. Then I went to Turkey and when the situation started to get tougher there, I flew to Mexico.
I stayed out of the way in Zipolite and Oaxaca, a month in each and am currently in Mexico City.
Former racing cyclist, mountain runner, electronic technician, waiter, postman.
I have a passion for #LongTermTravel and #overland journeys.
My first trip as a backpacker was 5 months, the 2nd, 8 months, then 10 months, 18 months, 1423 days and with this trip I hope to surpass that and stay away forever.
Overland journeys:
London to Beirut, Singapore to Islamabad, London to Monrovia, Istanbul to Baku, London to Seoul, Hongkong to The Aral Sea, Cairo to Cape Town Dakar to Grand Bassam (Ivory Coast).

About Nomadic Backpacker - the Blog
Nomadic Backpacker is built with much devotion using Weebly. I love the drag and drop design and am still reluctant to migrate to Word Press.
There are no affiliate links or paid promotions. All mentions of hostels and any other businesses are done at first, entirely for no financial compensation. I have always paid the normal rate, though my hostel reviews have some times been worthy of a free beer or two and later a discount.
This blog focuses on my present journey, from January 2020, with occasional reposts from my old blog which was hacked in 2016. Which is a big shame as I had lots of crazy stories from West Africa.
Running costs are helped by DONATIONS and I just set up Buy Me A Coffee, a fun way to support my blog.
