About The Editor
My name is Leif Harum. I’m a travel writer, photographer and independent travel blogger based out of New York City.
When I was 16, I ran away from home. During this time I traveled around the world without a cent to my name.
After suffering countless hardships and having witnessed the extent of inequity in the world I decided to return to my education.
In 2010 I received a BA in Global Studies from the University Of California Santa Barbara. In that same year I became one of the first of five students to attend the premier MSc program at the United Nations University in Tokyo, Japan. And in 2011 I started this blog The Runaway Guide.
What is The Runaway Guide?
The Runaway Guide is a budget world travel guide for the run away in everyone. It draws from the extreme budget travel techniques I implemented as a broke runaway to the more practical methods I have acquired over nearly 8 years of backpacking. It aims to become the premier resource on budget travel with articles ranging the gamut from accommodation and gear reviews to adventure and destination guides.
