Give the Gift of Safe Travel
A present that goes everywhere with them.
A SAFE Backpacker gift card gives a gap year student, backpacker or first time solo traveller two days of practical travel safety training before they leave. Buy it today, give it on Christmas morning, and they choose a date that suits them in London or Manchester.
Why Give SAFE Backpacker?
Watching someone you love head off on a gap year or their first big trip is exciting and nerve wracking in equal measure. SAFE Backpacker gives them the awareness and practical skills to handle what independent travel throws at them: busy transport hubs, unfamiliar accommodation, scams, theft, losing a phone or passport, and knowing what to do when something goes wrong.
It is a gift they will use long after the wrapping paper has gone, and it gives you real peace of mind while they are away.
