About

I am Jake Hastings… This website is the story of how with my laptop, courage and some cash I changed my boring life.

I suppose I should start at the beginning, as every good story does.

Unhappy by the usual 10 to 6 I made the crazy decision to sell my childhood home in South Dakota. I used the money to litter the beaches and bars of Latin America with my presence for about 2 years. I soon realized that there were in-fact better things to do with my time than work for the good of someone else…

And so came The Dakota Traveler – What begun as just a travel blog soon turned into a way to keep on traveling and a source of income.

What gets me out of bed in the morning is still the same, I still have to drag myself to work… The difference is, now it’s on my terms and I love it. And the secret to all this??? Nothing really – Make a blog, make some money – do it better, make more…

    Dear sir/madam,

    I was wondering whether you could supply me with an e-mail adress.
    A few months ago my colleague contacted you about a guestpost and I am trying to follow up her request.
    The name of my colleague is Katie and we both work for Projects Abroad.

    I would appreciate an e-mail back from you to discuss.

    Have a great weekend,

    Kind regards,

    Yvonne
