You don’t need your whole life figured out to take your first trip
Learn how to plan, pack, and budget for an
adventure of your own.
Turn “I wish I could” into a plan.
What will it cost?
What should you pack?
How do hostels work?
And what happens when you land somewhere new, completely on your own?
This course walks you through the practical side of backpacking, alongside the fears, doubts, and everyday details that don’t always make it into travel videos.
You don’t need to copy my journey. You can use what I’ve learned to start yours.
Here's What We'll Cover
- Taking the leap: Why I left after high school, how I handled people questioning me, and what I wish I’d known.
- Packing and daily logistics: What I carry, why it earns a spot in my bag, and how I handle things like laundry.
- Money and budgeting: How I afford to travel and the difference between traveling cheaply and spending smart.
- Safety and street smarts: How I approach staying aware and making decisions while traveling solo.
- Hostels, food, and everyday life: What staying in a hostel is like and how to find your routine on the road.
- Getting around and making a plan: How to think through your trip and move between places.
- What travel teaches you: The lessons I’ve taken away from more than two years of backpacking.
Check Out What's Inside!
I left at 18 and I’ve been traveling ever since.
At now age 20, I’ve spent more than two years traveling the world as a solo backpacker.
This course brings together my experiences, practical habits, and the things I wish someone had explained before I left.
I’m sharing them to help make your first adventure feel less unfamiliar—and give you a clearer place to start.
Whether you’re considering a gap year, planning your first solo trip, or wondering if backpacking could be for you, this course will help you work through the questions between you and getting started.
