Before you get started.
01Can you really make money backpacking?
Yes. Budget routes, hostel picks and spending breakdowns help travelers planning the same trip, and Pocket TP lets you sell them.
02Can I sell group trips while I'm backpacking?
Yes. Hostels are full of travelers heading the same way you are. Create a group trip, share it with the people you meet, and Pocket TP handles deposits, travelers and logistics.
03How much does it cost to start?
Nothing. Starter is free with no credit card. You pay a 15% fee only when someone buys.
04What should my first itinerary be?
The route people ask you about most. If three hostel mates asked for it, chances are strangers want it too.
