About Us

We are Kelly and Ryan, two Canadians with a passion for minimalist travel as a family. British Columbia is home but together we have travelled to 15 countries and counting with only a backpack on our backs. We have travelled solo, as a couple, and now with our three children in tow.  We are here to provide tips on how to swap heavy suitcases for streamlined backpacks, how we make it affordable as a family and how you can do it too.  Join us and discover the freedom of simply boarding with backpacks.
