BackPackTrack

Welcome to BackPackTrack, the travel channel for people who think “one backpack” is a lifestyle.

I’m Mells.
I travel alone, get lost way too often, make questionable decisions and somehow turn it into stories, because honestly, why not? 🎙️
Here you can expect solo travel stories, chaotic travel vlogs, honest thoughts, culture shocks, travel fails and the kind of moments that were absolutely not part of the plan.

Every Tuesday I upload a new podcast episode about solo travel, life abroad, travel mindset and the weird emotional side of being on the road or a travel vlog from wherever I am in the world 🌍🎒
