Take a journey, that’s what My Travel is all about! Backpacking gets you amongst the locals, keeps you out, about and active. We love travelling this way for these very reasons

What makes My Travel unique is that we visit the great places you’ve heard about and experience them in different ways. We design and run the trips ourselves and want our travellers to have a real sense of achievement. After a long hike or tough bike journey, when you’re grubby and sweaty, where sure you’ll look back, smile and think ‘I did that’

At My Journey we believe if you can’t fit around a Chinese dinner table you’re not boutique, we have a maximum group size of 8. This means you’ll never feel like a herd of sheep, and allows you get to/from in/out of places groups of 18 just can’t

Everyone wants a local experience, that special interaction with the people that makes you feel like you really did it, that you where really there. It’s not about how you shower, eat or sleep; it’s about how you travel. My Travel style travels local. We use a blend of public and private transport. ‘Going local’ as we say, is the best way to experience the spaces in between

Our accommodation philosophy means we support local families and small hotels, the businesses that really need it. Things will be simple but that’s often part of the charm, after all nobody wants 20 storey buildings springing up in unspoilt villages. Cleanliness and friendliness are our top priorities when choosing a place to sleep. On this style of tour you might have a roommate, always of the same gender, but only one, we don’t stay in 15 bed dorm rooms

If you’re a backpacker, seasoned or new, who likes it a bit rough around the edges and can appreciate local travel, My travel is for you

Tired of the office? Worn out by the hustle and bustle of city life? Need a breath of fresh air? My Escape tours are specifically designed for expats who need a break from city life and a change of scenery. Holidays are scarce so you need to make the most of them; My Escape itineraries are designed around 3 day breaks perfect for the long weekend. Best of all they are flexible, so no matter what time your plane or train leaves after work you’ll be looked after. Theses itineraries are designed to maximise your time while still preserving a good balance between activities and relaxation

You’re around people everyday and a bit of personal space are what a break is all about; My Escape tours are private service. With the exception of some activities that are best done in small groups like rafting or Tai Chi, you won’t be in a big group, following flags or being herded onto buses

We offer a combination of local guides with many years experience for our simple excursions and the peace of mind of western trained leaders when doing strenuous activities, so you are always in the best hands. Upon your arrival you’ll have the chance to meet with one of our team members to make sure everything is running smoothly and hassle free

Open to everyone? You don’t just have to be an expat looking for a getaway, if you’re tired from the stresses of independent holidaying in China and want a short break from your travels; then these tours are also for you

Bookings are offered all year round with the exception of dates covering Christmas and New Years Day and the 1 – 7 Of October. So no matter where your home away from home is; Hong Kong to Beijing, Bangkok to Tokyo your escapes are covered

Like what you see but want it all your way. All our tours are customisable; want to remove an activity, chop a day out, add a day in, turn a My travel group tour into a private excursion, maybe a new request, no-worries; go designer. My Design makes any journey your way. Our extensive experience allows you all the joys of independent travel with the stress free functionality of a fully lead tour or semi-lead escape. We currently specialise in our backyard, South-West China, specifically Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, your wish is our command. Our personal experience and business relationships spread much further than this so if a specific place is on your ‘must see’ list let us know; in the end it’s all about flexibility
