Welcome to The Backpack Odysseys blog!

Essentially, we’re two sisters that love to write, take way too many pictures, and shuffle our surroundings every once in a while.

Growing up as children of one of the biggest traveller we know, some of our first memories are those of camping in the various Canadian National Parks on family summer vacations. Our mom instilled a love of travel in us very early on and fuelled it by sharing stories of her adventures throughout our childhood. Over the years, our love of adventure drove us to eventually seek novel destinations in all four corners of the world. Between the two of us, we have even set foot on 6 out of the 7 continents. The next few years will hopefully also be full of epic odysseys.

We hope you enjoy our stories as we bring you on our backpacking adventures around the world. If you have any questions/comments, don’t hesitate to contact us.
