About Us

RestlessBackpacker.com was founded in 2018 as a hub for passionate backpackers & hikers that want to share their stories or advice with fellow adventurers.

Traveling to every corner of the world

Climbing every mountain

Exploring every trail

Recording all these experiences alone might leave little time for something else. We wanted to create a place where backpackers from every corner of the world can come together to share their stories with like-minded peers.

Our Mission

We love to explore mountain trails and take readers on a virtual journey through winding mountain paths that lead to breathtaking vistas. Through RestlessBackpacker we hope to:

Grow a tight community

where everybody can feel welcome to share their personal story.

Inspire others

to go out more by sharing unique mountain trails.

Make backpacking easier

by sharing unbiased reviews for tried and tested gear.

Encourage travelers

to respect nature with low-impact hiking.
