Why Uzbekistan Should Be Your Next Trip
|
Sitting right in the heart of the old Silk Road, Uzbekistan is packed with blue‑tiled mosques, ancient cities, and history that is older than most nations on Earth. It is a country that has been quietly minding its own business, staying out of the spotlight, for a few thousand years now. That was until Broke Backpacker legend, Aiden, showed up last month… This man has been to more countries than most of us have had cold beers - and has likely had more cold beers than most of us too. So when Aiden says he has some thoughts... Well, we listen. And in his wise words, he has confirmed that “Uzbekistan is one of the most underrated backpacking destinations on the planet”. Aiden has kindly delivered us a compilation of his favourite places in Uzbekistan so we can see for ourselves.
- Hey, amigo! - Where are you going SafetyWing is simple, affordable, > Get a quote Backpacking UzbekistanUzbekistan is still relatively new to the backpacking scene. Unlike Thailand, you won’t find endless blogs and TikToks telling you what to do or where to go. I love places like this, but it does mean planning gets a wee bit tricky. Luckily though, our backpacking Uzbekistan guide was crafted by a fellow traveller who laid down his roots in this magical country for many moons. With cheap food, transport and alcohol, a growing budget accommodation scene, and cities with history as old and complex as the likes of Rome and Athens, this country has plenty to offer to adventurers like you and I. So I invite you to take a closer look. Who knows, it might steer your trip planning in a direction you weren't expecting 😉 Everything you need to know can be found here:

Today's email is going to be a little different... I want to tell you a story. One which takes place in the Karakoram Mountains, deep in Northern Pakistan. You might have heard about the KKH, the most epic place you can ride a motorbike in the entire world. The story takes place there. And the place looks like this: I'm gonna be passing the mic to Samantha, one of our resident Broke Backpacker legends, so she can tell it to you in first person. This is a story about facing your fears, taking...
Hostels are magnificent places where anything can happen. They're places of endless possibilities, but... a lot of those possibilities are also far from ideal 🤨 Sometimes people barge into the dorm at 3 AM and flick the lights open. Or they eat the food with YOUR name on it. Pay close attention, because if you've never met the hostel asshole, you might BE the hostel asshole. Click here to find out ifyou're the Hostel Asshole! Have you seen this man? Things don't really work out in hostels...
Ever wondered how some travellers manage to stay on the road way longer than their budget should allow? Sometimes, it’s not about saving more or spending less, but rather about playing the game a little differently... One of the simplest ways to stretch your travel time is by swapping a few hours of your time for a free hostel bed. This is often called volunteering in hostels. And it's simpler than you might think. Click here to read our guideabout Hostel Volunteering > Some hostels are just...
