The Story of South East Asia Backpacker Magazine!

10 years ago, 23-year old backpacker from England, Nikki Scott, set off on an adventure that would change her life. She created the first print magazine for backpackers in Asia. Today, that humble idea has grown into a digital community of thousands of travellers who share their experiences on this website!
