Welcome to attitudeTravel.org!

Since 1997, attitude Travel has focused on independent, low cost travel for discerning, intelligent and economy-conscious backpackers: student-travellers, inter-railers, gap-year explorers, young professional city-breakers and everyone else who yearns to really travel the world on a budget, meet others, expand their horizons and learn, rather than just go on a beach holiday every so often.

We're not going to stop doing what we do best over at attitude Travel! But for a long time we've also been keen to focus on an aspect of independent travel where travellers like us (and you!) don't just explore, converse, enquire and learn but also engage and give back in significant measure to those they meet in the spirit of respect, thoughtfulness, encouragement, support and generosity.

That's what attitudeTravel.org is all about. On this sister-site to attitude Travel, we're going to talk about volunteer initiatives abroad, not-for-profit and non-profit development projects, English teaching opportunities overseas and more...

Keep watching this space...!
