The Broke Backpacker

Here are our guiding principles for navigating life’s journey. Traveling offers endless chances for personal development, as long as you’re willing to embrace the journey to become a better version of yourself. This manifesto is inspired by my experiences and those of the Broke Backpacker team, but we understand that no single document can perfectly fit everyone. Some values in this manifesto may not resonate with you, and that’s completely fine! In fact, it’s a great opportunity for you to create your own manifesto. Defining your personal values is crucial for your growth and will help you stay grounded during tough times. This manifesto has been a collaborative effort, taking over 100 hours of work and contributions from many trusted individuals. We take pride in what we've created, and we hope you find insight in these words.
