SUPPORT CHESTER ON PATREON!



About Us
We are Shane and Hoi, a married couple who love being outdoors. We met online (Twitter of all places!) back in 2014, when Shane soon decided to move from New Zealand to the UK so we could spend our life together. We’ve officially been wandering together since 2016!
We have done hundreds (probably thousands) of miles of hiking, and now we want to push it even further. We have decided to dive into the world of backpacking. This is completely new to us both, and this website will be dedicated to our journey and all the research we have done to reach our goals.
We wanted to do this sooner, but a mixture of COVID and work commitments stopped us. Well, we aren’t going to get any younger so we’ve decided to stop with the excuses and take the leap!
We hope you find the information on our site useful if you too want to dip into the world of backpacking, or if you are just curious about how people get into backpacking in the first place!
There will probably be a lot of mistakes, mishaps and shenanigans, but that is all part of the learning process! So please tag along if you want to learn too, or if you just fancy taking the mickey out of us two noobs…coz that’s fine as well!
