Who are we?
Hopeful Wanderers is a travel community for people who are interested in growth and self exploration through travel.
We bring together like-minded individuals away from all life’s distractions for a chance to experience meaningful adventures. We seek out places and experiences that would help our community members learn new skills, pratice mindfulness and build long lasting connections.
Our goal is to change lives one adventure at a time.
What do we do?
We organise group adventures for solo travellers who share a passion for life, adventure and meeting like-minded people.
Groups are typically made up of minimum of 5 and maximum of 14 mindful travellers. Each group is be led by a sociable and talented trip coordinator who is looking forward to share the experience with you. The coordinator is also in charge of maintaining the mood and leading you from open adventure to another.
While we will have a loosely defined itinerary, we will have full flexibility to decide what to do and when to do them so there will be lots of room for adventure and exploration. Just like travelling solo but this time not alone. Our trips are planned on principle of maximum flexibility meaning that we will choose a meeting point, decide the dates, come up with a list of adventures while you need to take care of the rest including your flights and accommodation.
Also, you are in full control of your spending meaning everyone will pay for themselves. When we do group activities, we will simply split the bill. No upfront payments.
Our Style
Our trips are not a “tour” or “holiday”. They are meant to be one in a life time experiences.
We seek travellers who welcome change, who are not afraid of new experiences, who maintain a joyful spirit despite challenges and are respectful to others. Therefore, we will carefully choose the participants for each trip.
We aim to stay true to the backpacking spirit by giving our fellow travellers all the flexibility they need, leaving plenty of room for surprises.
What is mindful travel?
It simply means that you pay attention to what’s happening around you as well as within you.
As mindful travellers we look for opportunities to slow down and sink into the present moment and make the most of it. We thrive on the experience of being alive in nature instead of being distracted by consumer oriented activities that are designed to keep you distracted and disconnected.
Sometimes mindfulness is simply having a moment and they are only available to those who make space for them. Such as watching a spectacular sunset or getting lost in the rhythm of a waterfall. Our adventures will be full of precious moments like these.
Our Community
One of greatest things about solo travel is all the incredible connections you get to make. This is why we are so focused on brining together like-minded solo travellers.
We believe that travel is just as much about the people who impact us along the way. Imagine what your new friend might teach or what you might teach them. They may even challenge your worldview and help expand your horizons.
Travel with us and you will become part of our community of Hopeful Wanderers. Who knows you may even get a chance to lead one of our trips one day!
