Testimonials

What my business partners say…

„We got in touch with Patrick after discovering his Instagram account and his travel blog “German Backpacker” online. His positive, visual language and his real interest in the countries he explores were the perfect requirements for a collaboration with Bahamas Tourism. The Bahamas are only a unique destination if you explore the less known islands, if you get in touch with the locals and if you get to know their lives. And this is only one of the strengths we see in Patrick. The result of his trips are real stories and real encounters. I know that Patrick doesn’t like to be called an “influencer” – but this is exactly what he is, and this is why we would love to work with him again anytime in the future. With his content, he delivers information as well as creates inspiration. There’s nothing more we could have asked for. There’s no need for guidelines and instructions, since Patrick overdelivers. Because he (still) travels with his heart.”

– Angelika E. Ardelt, CEO Text&Aktion and responsible for Bahamas Tourism

“It was our privilege to work with Patrick as we have recognized him as a young, talented travel blogger with a lot of passion for travel. His unique style of showcasing his travel experiences inspire many holiday seekers around the world. With his professionalism in collaborating with us, I highly recommend Patrick and his website to any travel and leisure brand.”

– Chaminda Munasinghe, Sri Lanka Tourism

My Audience

The majority of my readers (70%) is from German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), followed by the UK and the USA. They are adventurous travelers in the age range 18 – 40  and love to explore different countries and regions all over the world through my eyes. With a focus on fun and exciting experiences, but also a mix of culture, food and recreation; I inspire and inform my readers about their upcoming holidays.

While I started this website traveling around the world as a backpacker myself, the target group of my travel blog is not limited to the low budget sector only. For me, backpacking represents an active adventure holiday rather than being restricted to a limited travel standard. As a result, I present on this website typical backpacking regions, such as Southeast Asia or South America, off-the-path places (i.e. Pakistan, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kyrgyzstan), but also upscale destinations, such as Antigua, London and the Bahamas. My goal, especially for countries that are predominantly known as high-end holiday destinations, is to present them in an exciting, meaningful way to my target group; where they can combine a higher travel standard with an active and fun adventure holiday.

Since the majority of my readers reaches my website organically (via Google), my articles are search engine optimized and can therefore be easily adapted to your desired target group.
