About James

Welcome to The World Travel Guys! My name is James, and I’m passionate about exploring the world, discovering unique cultures, and sharing my experiences with fellow travelers like you.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m James, and this is my travel blog.

I’m a travel enthusiast who’s been exploring the world for years, always searching for new experiences, unique cultures, and hidden gems. Currently, I split my time between various destinations, with a special love for Southeast Asia, though I’m always ready to head to the next adventure.

My passion for travel was ignited on a backpacking trip through Europe in my early twenties. With nothing but a small bag and a spirit of adventure, I wandered through cities, crossed borders by train, and found beauty in the unfamiliar. That trip set the tone for many more journeys to come, and I haven’t looked back since.

Since then, I’ve explored remote villages in Africa, wandered through ancient ruins in South America, and road-tripped across the vast landscapes of Australia. I’ve encountered challenges too, from braving harsh climates in the Sahara to surviving a night stranded in the Himalayas during a snowstorm, but every experience has shaped my perspective and deepened my love for the world around me.

Here are just a few of the incredible moments I’ve been fortunate enough to experience:

  • Trekking to Machu Picchu through the Salkantay Trail in Peru,
  • Diving with sharks in the crystal-clear waters of Fiji,
  • Exploring ancient temples in Cambodia,
  • Watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky in Norway,
  • Camping under the stars in the Australian Outback,
  • Getting lost in the vibrant streets of Marrakech,
  • Climbing volcanoes in Indonesia and walking through lava fields,
  • Zip-lining through the Costa Rican rainforest,
  • And visiting historic wonders like the Great Wall of China, Colosseum in Rome, and the Pyramids of Giza.

In 2023, I set a personal milestone by visiting 15 countries in one year, experiencing everything from rugged wilderness to bustling city life—all while keeping travel affordable and accessible. I’ve learned how to make the most out of a budget, often spending less than $50 a day while still making unforgettable memories.

My travel journey is far from over. There are still countless places left to explore, and I can’t wait to share them with you. I hope my stories, travel tips, and product reviews inspire you to embark on your own adventures and see the world in a whole new light.

Happy travels, and see you out there!
