Travel Hacks eBook from a seasoned pro (Nomadic Backpacker) with over 30 years of experience as a low-budget backpacker, through more than 130 countries now available for purchase on Gumroad.

Three reasons why you need to buy my eBook:
- I have been travelling since 1992
- I only write about places I have visited
- I am not turning every tip into an affiliate pitch
The eBook brings you some of the best raw budget travel hacks. These travel tips are aimed at budget travellers and backpackers, including how to save money for your next trip, how to manage your money whilst travelling and some travel strategies that I use to travel the world.
I have been travelling since 1992
I set off for Australia back in 1992 on a round-the-world ticket. That was more than a lifetime ago. Boy, things have changed since then. 30+ years as a budget traveller, a backpacker. You sure learn some stuff in that amount of time.
Would you trust travel advice offered by someone with limited experience?
There is an influx of travel hacks on insurance websites, banking websites.
Even people with limited travel experience are now cashing in on this lucrative niche.
CNN and the BBC have travel sections. They hire local writers to write about the best restaurants where they live. How is that even travel?
My raw travel hacks are trustworthy. I have credibility. That comes through more than 30 years of experience as a low-budget traveller.
I have used the travel hacks detailed in this eBook to get to the places I have written about on my travel blog: Nomadic Backpacker.
I only write about places I have visited
Would you trust a blog post about a place if it were written by someone who had never actually been there?
I am a traveller sharing firsthand information drawn from my own observations, based on a personal visit to the place I am writing about.
That builds a level of trust, and that, in turn, makes the travel hacks trustworthy.
I am not turning every tip into an affiliate pitch
The best travel hacks come from those who aren’t trying to convince you that you couldn’t possibly survive without an eSIM or travel insurance purchased through their affiliate link.
No hard sell here. Just pure travel advice. Just some of the top travel hacks for backpackers.

Downloaded and started reading this.
Yes; you *are* that interesting character (re; special forces guys on YouTube versus in a bar with 1000 yard stare). This is why your blog is appealing, helpful and entertaining, too.
We can use tech to relay a message by amplifying our reach. But the experience, well, we need to gain that offline whether traveling or even working different niches.
Most human beings fear making eye contact, struggle to begin offline conversations and almost feel walled off entirely from the rest of the universe. Seeing your example in action can influence a few more travelers – and non-travelers too – to get out there and connect 1 to 1 without letting technology interfere.
Thanks, Ryan… Hope you enjoy the ebook.. my first ever attempt…. best wishes. Trevor
I love it so far. I hope you are enjoying your first trip to Colombia.
Found your website from your comment on Andy Lee Graham’s substack. Glad I did as your website and ebook are great. A real wealth of information from a long time traveler. Thank you for sharing it with all!
Hey Rich. Thanks for looking me up. Glad to see leaving comments work. Regards
I am happy to see this eBook on Gumroad for sale now.
Good move.
Every travel blogger deserves to earn money for their effort. Bloggers publish free content diligently to help travelers. Travelers can freely help bloggers by purchasing premium products then spreading the word.
The eBook is filled with practical travel tips, fellow travelers. Trevor wrote and sells a clear, concise guide to help you circle the globe on the cheap without sacrificing like mad. That’s the difference between his budget advice and someone whose unrealistic budget hacks causes immense suffering because of the outright foolish choices consistent with buying a seafood dinner in Cambodia for 50 cents, or living in Thailand on 4 bucks a day. Yeah; you only dropped 50 cents but spent the next 12 hours hurling into a toilet. That’s a budget puke not a budget hack to ensure a high quality travel experience.
Trevor’s eBook is a guide for how to enjoy high quality travel from within your purse. His advice nudges you to be highly creative and frugal without sacrificing quality of life on the road.
I offer this feedback as:
– someone who read the eBook
– a full time digital nomad since 2011 who has not *stopped* circling the globe since then
Thanks for the great comment, Ryan. Much appreciated. And thanks for reading it. There is a lot of competition with generic budget travel tips and hacks. People have their own idea of what budget means. For some, dropping 100 USD a night on a hotel is nothing. I prefer closer to 10, but those days are almost gone. But I still stay in dorms, walk and use public transport, and when crossing borders, I get a bus to the border, walk across and then get onward transport. Some old habits don’t die.
Happy travels and blogging, Trevor
