10 Backpacking Blogs You’ll Love

Sti1 1024x768 10 Backpacking Blogs Youll Love

Backpacking is a life-changing way to travel. From taking trains to volunteering, you can green your backpacking.

For years, traveling greener backpacked in the mountains. We walked and took trains, stayed in cabins and camped out. Living out of a backpack, our mountain boots and North Face jackets were our best friends. Freedom, adventure and the open mountain roads were our everyday.

That’s why we love backpacking blogs and those bold bloggers who share their adventures backpacking around the world. Whether you’re a new or experienced backpacker, these blogs can tell you about destinations, gear, safety, trends, lifestyle and more.

Here are 10 Backpacking Blogs You’ll Love:

Amazing list of backpacking travel sites! But I don’t know about that Off Track Planet website, I heard they are a bunch of perverts!

You don’t hear as much about backpacking these days, or maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but glad to know that enthusiasts have a choice of great blogs to choose from!
