The Backpacking Hiker is for those of us, who don’t just travel for the party lifestyle or purely as tourists. who enjoy backpacking and hiking in different parts of the world, preferably off the beaten track where possible.
It’s for adventurers who like to get up close to local culture, while challenging themselves physically and mentally. Not in the absolute extreme – because it’s all about the journey.
This site is designed to help you plan your own backpacking and hiking trips. Using my own and other backpacking hikers’ experiences, with links to online resources – all on one blog e.g.: Backpacking-Overland-from-Luxor-to-Capetown or Hiking and Wild Camping in Switzerland
I know from my experience of planning or organizing trips. It took a lot of time and research to find the information most useful to me.
Don’t get me wrong though, the worst thing you can do is over plan.
Having a rigid travel plan destroys the spontaneity of just travelling and enjoying each moment to it’s max.
Enjoy and make the most of the information. If you have something to add, don’t hesitate to make contact and let me know.
Of the over 8000 kilometers hiked in 12 countries since 2018, Switzerland is the one country that stands out for stunning scenery and Turkey for the amazing history at nearly every corner.
