The story behind
Why ‘Baxter Backpacks’? My full name is Alex Baxter and as a primary school teacher, I grew very accustomed to being called ‘Miss Baxter’! As I began my solo backpacking journey around Australia, Baxter Backpacks was a clear winner for the blog title!
In 2020, I quit my job. All my plans were to spend a year travelling overseas but we all know what happened next! Luckily, I was able to spend the year exploring Australia and I fell so in love with my home country! Initially, the blog was created as a way for me to document my travels online and share my experiences with family and friends. It has since evolved into an online travel guide offering tips and tricks to help you along on your own personal travel journey. If you’d like to find out more about me, send me a message. I’d love to chat!
