About Backpacking Travel Pages

Backpacking Travel Pages is a website set-up by backpackers, for backpackers. Its purpose is to help, educate and inspire the ever growing backpacking community.

In the Beginning

With the initial idea of this website to be a list of blogs by travellers worldwide, Backpacking Travel Pages started with its name as Backpacking Travel Blogs. But, it was later thought that restricting its content to blog posts would mean it could not provide helpful travel articles too. So, Backpacking Travel Pages was born and hosts travel blogs, help & advice and inspiration to the world.

Writing from Experience

Once the name of the site was decided the harder task of finding travel writers did begin. We wanted to ensure that everyone writing for the site had previously done what they were writing about, we didn’t want writers researching books it had to come from being there. Soon enough, it became clear that there were huge differences in writing styles from researchers than from experience.

What We’re About

Set up by backpackers for backpackers. The whole website is a collection of uniquely written articles about the experiences of backpacking around the globe. Each articles intention is to help, educate and inspire its reader and we hope that many people will enjoy our site. Newbie or pro backpacker; whether you’re learning something new or reminiscing about past experiences, because everything is written from a personal point of view everything is unique.

Fun Before Making Money

Making money is important to us like it is for most people, but having fun and enjoying something we’re so passionate about is definitely the priority. We need money to keep this site alive (thank you advertisers), but unlike some, that’s not all we’re about. We think it’s best to share the profits out a little more and let everyone involved benefit. That’s why we host an annual free backpacking trip for everyone involved, we create free events and try to ensure everyone is a part of what we’re doing.
