Hi guys, I’m Tom Webb, a 22-year-old travel enthusiast. I've recently finished an 8-month trip around Southeast Asia and want to share my knowledge of travelling this special part of the world with you.                                  

Whilst studying English Literature at the University of Sheffield I was persuaded to go travelling by my girlfriend. We dipped our toes with a month's trip interrailing around Europe, then, after graduating in the summer of 2023, took the full plunge and embarked on our Southeast Asian voyage around Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. It was the best decision we ever made.  

My passion for literature and writing however, meant that along the way I wanted to continue what I had learnt at University. Hence, I created this blog. What started as a simple means to flex my creativity whilst documenting the ups and downs of my trip, quickly became a potential hub of travel advice for fellow and prospective backpackers alike.  

Coming home at the end of May took a lot of getting used to, being sat at a desk day after day really is miles away from ziplining across waterfalls or kayaking with river dolphins. Whilst I can no longer get out of bed and swim in the sea or dune buggy around Laos, what I can do is sustain the momentum I’ve gained from creating Tomwebbsite and continue boosting my profile. If enduring these blogs helps only me to relive the experiences I’ve had, then I’m happy; I hope, however, that there are a few travel enthusiasts amongst you that feel more knowledgeable or inspired because of what I have written. 

Thanks for reading.
