about

Beyond the Vacation ...

...is more than a website, it is a philosophy about backpacking, and a maxim about how you should live your life. Everyday should have meaning, everyday should be an experience, and most importantly, everyday should be an adventure.

Every year thousands of backpackers leave their home in search of the ultimate adventure. They take on the challenge of redefining who they are, and force themselves to reevaluate their  priorities by exposing themselves to a new way of living. It is the road less traveled and one that requires patience, understanding, compassion, consideration, open-mindedness, and most of all perseverance.

This book is dedicated to those searching for a higher purpose to their journey; those who go in search of self-discovery, growth, and fulfillment.
