My travel blogs

“In the early years of the Internet, I was backpacking across Europe and wanted to be able to keep in touch with all of my friends and family, in ‘real-time’, to let then know where I was and what I was doing.

Doing this with expensive long-distance calls wasn’t an option, mail was too slow, and email just didn’t cut it. To make my life easier, I thought up, and built a quick and dirty web site that let me login, upload some stories and email the link to the site to my friends.

The site was an instant hit. In fact the feedback I received was so good that when I returned, I decided to build a much more advanced and feature-rich online hosting system for my fellow travelers… with that, TravelPod was born.
