Ryan once listed "Marketing Director atTravelblag" on his "ryanflynn" LinkedIn.com profile (http://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanflynn with 88 connections). This profile now shows a "Financial Analyst at ConAgra Foods" with 7 connections. It is possible that LinkedIn has recycled the old deleted username; details from Ryan's old profile appear below. A source confirms that TravelBlag did once exist in New Zealand and that Ryan did work there, though not much is known at this stage about the operations of the company.

Start-up Company TravelBlag Aims to Redefine the Travel Market
TravelBlag.com is unique; backpackers can find all the information relevant to them- the local products and services they use and the places they can visit.
(xxx broken link xxxx PRWEB) October 27, 2005 -- A group of entrepreneurs is set to take the New Zealand backpacker market by storm with their unique Internet-based travel company, ‘TravelBlag.’
TravelBlag.com is unique; backpackers can find all the information relevant to them- the local products and services they use and the places they can visit. This information is continuously kept up to date by its members who rate and review these services and have access to value-added promotions, including large discounts as incentives for doing so.
Chief Blagger, Pete says, “As a seasoned backpacker I know that I’m onto something. The site is unique because backpackers, our service providers and the environment all stand to benefit.”
British born Pete has certainly inspired his friends– seven of them have quit their day jobs and flown across the world to help him out. “TravelBlag will be a global phenomenon in the very near future,” says Pete– and his friends know he means it.
A quarter of a million backpackers visited NZ in 2004 and the Internet is the fastest growing medium of communication among that group. The TravelBlag team are convinced they have the product that will revolutionize the way information is shared amongst the backpacking community.
To mark the launch of TravelBlag.com the ‘blaggers,’ as the TravelBlag team are known, are staging a huge official pre-launch party where they are based in New Zealand.
Over 200 backpackers will attend and all the major backpacker service providers are showing their support for the industry’s newest players by providing big prizes and sponsorship on the night.
As a warm up for the night’s events backpackers will be invited to take part in a huge clean-up ‘treasure hunt.’ Cleaning up the city sets the tone for the TraveBlag’s ethos.
“I’ve seen some of the most beautiful places in the world spoiled by people that don’t care about the environment they travel in,” says twenty-four year old environmentally minded entrepreneur Pete Mols. “We hope we can contribute to changing that.”

TravelBlag Clean-up Hits Auckland
All Sites - Zone 4
26 October 2005
In an ambitious treasure hunt through the city, TravelBlag organised 25 teams of travellers and backpackers to explore central Auckland in pairs, collecting treasure provided by TravelBlag and clearing 25 bags of rubbish, including nearly 1,000 cigarette butts from city streets.
Keep New Zealand Beautiful provided 70 t-shirts for the event carrying both the KNZB and TravelBlag logos. These were seen and commented on by curious onlookers as the teams, speaking languages from across the globe, made their way to locations by solving cryptic clues.
The event was a huge success, receiving backing from other well-known names such as the Body Shop, Dominion Breweries, Magic Buses, Stray and Kiwi Experience, among others.
All participants paid $5 each to enter and all the money raised was put towards a running total, which was boosted by a raffle and other donations later that day at the Globe Bar in central Auckland where TravelBlag hosted almost 600 travellers and backpackers at the TravelBlag Bash. A Māaori war club, most kindly donated by Barnita Trust raised $200 alone at the night time event.
TravelBlag is dedicated to maintaining and promoting environmental awareness amongst the youthful travelling community it works with, knowing that the effects of tourism and travel on an area, including the effects caused by the ever-growing backpacker market, can be deep and far-reaching. TravelBlag Proudly raised $700 to help KNZB continue its work and projects across New Zealand.
