I started backpacking when I was 17, after the initial taste I completely fell in love with the industry and couldn't imaging doing anything else, backpacking runs through my blood. The figures tell the story. I have spent over 3000 nights in more than 250 backpackers over 14 years. I have run hostels from 100 beds to mega hostel with 530 beds add to that motels, hotels, resorts, a tropical island, travel agencies, airport transfers service, information centers and once upon a time was in charge of the largest network of independent hostels in the world. My passion & goal is to see the industry evolve and innovate!
