About Backpackingman
Hi, I’m Jonny. I started backpacking worldwide in 1997 and have continued to live and travel abroad ever since. I started Backpackingman in 2013 to advise other travellers about adventure, culture, and budget travel. During my adventures, I met my wife, Sidra, and we are now travelling the world together.
