Welcome to Planandexplore.com, your trusted guide to backpacking and budget travel. We’re not just writers; we’re full-time travelers. Every location we talk about, every hidden alleyway we mention, and every tour we evaluate, we’ve been there and done it ourselves.

Our Journey

Embarking on countless adventures across continents, we’ve faced the joys, challenges, and occasional hiccups that come with budget traveling. From the adrenaline of a last-minute hitchhike to the serenity of a sunset in a secluded spot that doesn’t break the bank – we’ve experienced it all.

Our Philosophy

We believe travel is personal. Everyone has a unique rhythm and style. Some might relish a guided tour, while others prefer the thrill of exploration on their own terms. Our role? To provide you with genuine insights from our personal adventures, unfiltered and unbiased.

In a world bombarded with advertisements and sponsored content, it’s hard to know whom to trust. If a tour is worth every penny, we’ll rave about it. If it’s not, we won’t hesitate to tell you. Your experience, savings, and memories matter to us. The best feeling we get is when we find undiscovered travel tips, like from where the cheap bus leaves from, or where you will find the best food.
