BootsnAll Travel Network is an independent travel company based in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The BootsnAll Travel Network was started by backpack-around-the-world type travelers in 1998. Co-founders Chris Heidrich and Sean Keener turned down investment and buyout offers during the first dot-com boom in 1999, despite having no revenue and no business model to speak. Chris and Sean supported themselves by doing a newspaper delivery route for two years. 13 years later, the BootsnAll Travel Network has grown into a community of over 30 online travel guides and resources that connect and inspire independent travelers -- with over 3.6 million unique visitors per month and 100,000 community members.
