Travel and food blogger Dave Lee focuses on expat life and travel experiences, particularly in Medellín, Colombia. After a round-the-world trip in 2007, he settled in Medellín in early 2009, captivated by the city. That same year, he founded "Medellin Living," a blog dedicated to sharing insights on lifestyle, nightlife, and travel within Medellín and the broader Antioquia region. The platform quickly evolved, featuring contributions from a team of writers and establishing itself as a key resource for prospective and current expats and travelers seeking grounded insights. His deep local expertise led to the 2013 publication of the "Medellín Travel Guide: Insider Advice from an American Expat in Colombia," offering practical, firsthand advice reflecting his extensive knowledge of the region. He also co-authored a guide to Lima. Lee sold "Medellin Living" in 2015. Beyond his work with "Medellin Living," Lee founded "GoBackpacking.com," a travel blog launched in 2007 that continues to serve a wide audience. He has since expanded into food blogging with "Feastio.com." His professional philosophy centers on providing authentic and verifiable information, driven by a desire to help fellow travelers and expats navigate new environments. In December 2014, his commitment to the travel industry earned recognition with an invitation to The White House Summit on Global Citizenship and Study Abroad.
