Tips and Advice for Independent Travelers

We've been there, done that - and bought a couple of t-shirts. Now we want to help you traveling in Southeast Asia and beyond.


We are backpackers ourselves, and our base in Singapore has allowed us to travel through all ASEAN countries. When more and more friends asked us for travel advice, we decided to start this website.


Fast forward some years, we now offer backpacker travel guides to almost all of Southeast Asia, plus iPhone apps & eBooks. And we're expanding beyond Asia.


Here on GuideGecko.com, you'll get the latest travel tips on where to go, what to see & do, how to get there, where to sleep, and much more. All you need to know to travel in Southeast Asia and beyond.


Happy travels! Your GuideGecko Team.
