Our Story
Founded in 2010 by Charles and Simon, two friends from university, Travelbase started as a student project. The first Travelbase event was a hitchhiking race in Barcelona, bringing together 300 participants.
Thirteen years later, the essence of what they created back then remains unchanged: designing unique trips for anyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone and live an experience they’ll remember for life, all while combating mass tourism and respecting the destinations visited.
Over the years, a wide variety of travel concepts have emerged: treks, packrafting, canoeing or kayaking, and road trips. Today, Travelbase offers over 40 nature-based adventures.
“It was after a hitchhiking race in Montpellier that we got the idea to create Travelbase. Since then, we’ve grown a little! From the very beginning, our mission has been to make adventure accessible to as many people as possible. We work with specialists, guides, and passionate locals… and we want to do things differently. Taking people off the beaten path, letting them experience authentic adventures, and immersing them in local culture.”
— Charles, co-founder of Travelbase
