About Erik The Travel Guy

All are welcome here. If you love travel (as I do), then this is your tribe; your community of like minded individuals who seek to get out there and explore. My YT channel is about saving time and money on every vacation you take. My videos (and everything I do) is free to you. The best way to support my channel is to subscribe and share my videos with your friends and family. Hit the subscribe button and never miss a new video.

My name is Erik Hastings aka Erik The Travel Guy. I am the creator and host of the Emmy award-winning, nationally syndicated travel television series "Beyond Your Backyard" seen on PBS stations, The Create Channel and other cable networks and VOD channels. I am originally from Des Moines, Iowa and I moved to NYC in 1996 with nothing but...you guessed, a dream. I turned that dream into a reality with luck and lot of hard work.

I believe travel brings people together and helps make the world a better place. Thank you for subscribing and for stopping by!
