Travel Made Simple


So you want to travel the world? Take a gap year, do a working holiday or go backpacking? Perhaps you’ve read books and dreamed of adventures that others talk about. You'd love to start exploring the world for yourself but perhaps travelling alone makes you feel apprehensive and not knowing where to start.

Well don't worry because you are in the right place!

Welcome to Step Ahead Travel - the perfect resource that will help backpackers and independent world travellers to fulfil their dreams. On this site you’ll find a wealth of travel information that will inspire, guide, help and educate you. It will give you the confidence to follow your dreams and turn them into a wonderful reality.


Click to Start

Despite popular belief, travelling the world doesn’t need to be expensive and certainly doesn’t need to be done as part of an organised tour that has been booked in advance by an agent. And it is not for the privileged few. With the required knowledge, it can be done cheaply and easily by everyone, including you!

All you need is just a little information to get you started.

Step Ahead Travel is your personal travel advisor to provide resources to potential backpackers of any age or background.
