BACKPACKRAIL ASIA - THE ADVENTURE AWAITS!

Do you dream of traveling, meeting new people, and challenging yourself? We’ll take you on unforgettable journeys through some of the world’s most fascinating countries! We’ll explore Asia’s rich cultures, politics, and religions, while also enjoying exciting activities that take you outside your comfort zone. This isn’t just a trip—it’s an experience of a lifetime! 

ASIA - Magical Experiences and Meaningful Encounters

We start in Vietnam, where you’ll get to know everyday life in Hanoi, kayak among the magical limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, and hike through the rice paddies in Sapa. On our train journeys, we’ll stop in both bustling cities and quiet villages, where we’ll meet the locals and get a glimpse into their daily lives. The trip then continues to Cambodia, where we’ll visit Sagavoll’s aid project and learn about the country’s compelling history and culture. Finally, we wrap up our trip in Bangkok, Thailand, where we explore the floating markets, visit magnificent temples, and enjoy the city’s fantastic culinary experiences.

EUROPE—train travel, adventure, and friendship

We’re planning our own Interrail trip through Europe—a valuable experience in travel planning. Along the way, we’ll create memories to last a lifetime, challenge ourselves, and get to know both the world and each other better.
