Our Story
The template looked like this:School → Job → Promotion → House → Marriage → Kids → Retire → The End
I made it to step 3. Then I quit.

BackpackBeat was built for digital nomads and business travelers. From city streets to wild trails. For people reclaiming the right to build their own lives.
Your backpack shouldn't have to choose between the office and the wilderness either.
