Our Goal

After years of scouring the web for advice and constant inquiries from friends I realized that the travel community was missing a one stop shop for hostelers and backpackers preparing for a trip.

I asked myself what I wanted when I was first starting out: A website that was basic, straight forward and offered two things: Straight forward, relevant travel tips and an easy way to discover and purchase the must have travel gear I'd need at rock bottom prices.

To that end we've created an Amazon store that only has items directly recommended by experienced backpack and hostelers. It's simple, convenient and the prices leave brick and mortar stores in the dust.
