Once upon a time, a boy met a girl.
They fell in love, had kids a little earlier than planned, and built a wonderful (but very busy) life.
But deep down, somewhere between the diaper changes, soccer practices, and late-night school projects, a spark never stopped burning:
The dream of traveling the world.

Fast forward a couple of decades (and a few more wrinkles than we care to count), and here we are — standing at the edge of our biggest adventure yet. We call ourselves the Goldpackers: because yes, we are backpacking… but with just a hint of luxury. Let’s be real — we love adventure, but we also love not sleeping on rocks.

Why Goldpackers?
Simple. We’re (almost or passed) hitting that golden age of 50. We’ve earned our stripes, our gray hairs, and, frankly, the right to stay somewhere that has running water. So this journey is about chasing the backpacker dream — just with a little extra comfort. Think hostels… but with pillows that don’t double as medieval torture devices.

Why now?
Because if the last few years have taught us anything (looking at you, 2020), it’s that life is unpredictable. Stress, chaos, and that hamster-wheel feeling can sneak up on all of us. We believe it’s time to press pause, breathe in life, and chase the dreams we almost forgot we had.

Our Mission:

• To show that it’s never too late to start living your dream
• To inspire YOU to chase your adventure, no matter your age, your worries, or your orthopedic shoe needs
• To help support local tourism and small businesses around the world
