Have you visited a foreign destination, had a frightening, enlightening, or just plain-old-fun time, and then — later — wished you could share your experience with others? That’s how Europe From A Backpack started. While backpacking through Europe, the founder thrilled at the experience and decided to collect other backpackers’ stories about the place.
The books in the Europe From a Backpack series are not quite guidebooks. Rather, they’re first-person accounts of travelers’ experiences in Europe. In other words, they’re more like a collection of short fiction. Since its inception, the series has expanded to include Italy From a Backpack and Spain From a Backpack.
Publishing travel writing for the “Budget, Independent, and Youth Travel” market, ..From A Backpack books are for people who want to backpack in Europe but don’t know what to expect; for people who want to re-live their backpacking adventures; and for people who just love travel writing. Want to see what the books are like? Check out some of the sample stories they have featured online.
