David, who is originally from a small town in Missouri, initially fell in love with travel and the great outdoors in 2015 while hiking in Colorado's rocky mountains. His first significant international adventure was a road trip across Iceland the following year. Due to his limited budget, he spent almost a month sleeping in the back of a rental car while driving 7,000 kilometers throughout Iceland and shooting all of its picturesque locations. One of his first videos racked up a few million views and he got featured on international TV by BBC Travel. Since then, he has traveled alone to numerous developing countries, including almost all of those in Asia and the Middle East. Nothing could stop him despite the earthquake in Indonesia, the bombings in Bangkok, frauds, fights, illnesses, motor accidents, and other bizarre events he encountered. He enjoys traveling on a tight budget and rarely spends more than $30 a day, including lodging and food. He set a personal record for himself in 2018 by visiting 24 countries in a calendar year!
