About

Welcome to Knapsack Treks. We started this site as Knapsack On My Back, a title named after a book on backpacking first written in Chinese by one of the poineers of backpacking in Singapore, Mr Ng Wai Choy. I was the translator for the English version of 背包走天涯.

I first wrote and published my own adventure stories on kanpsack.net

This passion was financed with trips which I conducted in Thailand and Nepal. Then, I got married, had kids and knapsack.net just petered off. With a little more free time nowadays, I’ve decided to revive this project gradually as I work towards an active and meaningful retirement in the field of travel planning and writing.

Knapsack On My Back is now Knapsack Treks. I’ll be putting up more or less the same stuff and I’ll try to conduct a couple of trips a year. Of course, I also welcome contributions from fellow travellers/adventurers. Let me know if you want your writeups and other travel stories posted here.

Life is short. Seize the day.
