Hello Calan, can you share some info about you and the team behind Mylifeoftravel?
The team consists of 3 founders, me, Lachlan and Haim, all of which are web developers and travelers. We had worked together on another project in London and had become friends. When I told the guys about the idea for the site we decided it would be fun to build something less corporate for a change, and so we took time off contracting and build the site from my apartment in London. When did the Mylifeoftravel project start and what are the results so far? We launched the site at the end of 2005 and have done very little marketing as we ran the site alongside our full-time careers. The site has grown now to having over 25,000 journals and 500,000 photos, and we’ve decided to work on the project full-time. If it’s not a secret, can you disclose the budget for the entire project? Technically our budget was pretty low as all 3 founders are senior web developers, so it was more a question of taking 8 months off work to build the project. The main financial cost was an initial marketing bud
