WHO ARE WE?

Hi there! So good that you’re viewing our app.
We're two sisters who love to backpack, we're always looking for new places to explore and create a travel buzz around us. We're fortunate that we’ve seen so much of the world, beautiful places that took our breath away. But the backpacking was put on the back burner when we thought up this big idea for this amazing app. We’ve met so many wonderful people like you that we thought of bringing this community together, by inspiring fellow backpackers! And that became our top priority! We figured the best way of doing that is just to spread the word, and take beautiful pictures. We love social media, don’t we?! That’s why we built this app: Backpackyard. You can share all the info you like so much and update your own photo of your favourite hotspot.
Recognize the feeling when you’re at a hostel or a good bar speaking to other backpackers, and get psyched about all the info you just got? That's exactly when you will find yourself in the Backpackyard, and we only can say: Hello there and be welcome! Share your story with us!
We hope you like the app and find all the backpacking info you need and the best ways to share your lifetime of travel experience. There's nothing better than realizing that you can always count on other backpackers while travelling. So we really are curious to hear what you think of the app. We would love to get your suggestions and advice, your opinion means the world to us. So don’t hesitate and send one or both of us an e-mail: femke@backpackyard.com and/or marieke@backpackyard.com
