P1060844About 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.

Primary Themes:

  • Budget Travel
  • Off Beat Destination Guides
  • Adventure
  • Enlightenment Through Travel
  • Location Independence

Target Audiences:

  • Aspiring ‘Runaways’
  • College Students
  • Budget Backpackers
  • Travel Bloggers
  • Dreamers

Who Is The Runaway Guide?

When I was 16 I ran away from home and traveled the world with nothing but the clothes on my back. Over 10 years later and I'm still "on the run," surviving in style, thriving off adventure, searching for that elusive road to enlightenment, and cultivating the life of travel that I want to live.
