Hi, I’m Mack

Welcome to Backpack Mack! This blog was originally created to follow my journey as I fought corporate burnout through adventure, self reflection, learning and personal growth. For details on my sabbatical experience click the “My Travel Gap” tab above. During my travels I discovered that I really love writing about my experience and providing recommendations to friends and family. You can find my travel recs here added to by my partner James Bozanich who is an avid traveler.
