Big Brother Backpacking (www.bigbrotherbackpacking.com) offers tours specifically designed for youths looking to do something life changing with their summer in a close knit group environment. Considered leaders in the art of teen adventure travel, Big Brother Backpacking offers small, five person group tours aimed at teaching teens the art of travel leadership while providing them with the opportunity to see what life is like beyond their home town. As a tour company specifically aimed towards students, Big Brother Backpacking provides a coming of age European travel adventure without the worry and hassle of planning and executing your own tour, traveling alone, or missing out on major sites. Since the company allows the travelers themselves to determine where the trip will go in real-time, students are taught how to plan and execute a trip in a small group, make close friends from a variety of backgrounds, and experience Europe in a hands-on way. Instead of being forced into a learning environment they will attempt to ignore, our travelers are given a firsthand opportunity to see what personal success through determination really means (not to mention getting a bit of much needed exercise away from the computer and a solid geography lesson). Big Brother Backpacking provides their students with a backpacking experience unlike any other. No buses, no schedules and no obligations. This is backpacking the way it is meant to be.
