The beginning

Plotpackers launched in 2023 by founder Louise Truman following a traumatic event on a solo backpacking trip aged 21. Frustrated by the lack of travel companies offering ethical, exceptional & affordable group travel experiences, she set out to create what she wished had existed for herself as a young woman: a way for people to travel freely whilst minimising risk to both themselves and the world around them.

Scaling Community

Plotpackers rapidly grew into a global community of over 4,000 travellers in its first 2 years, rooted in travel and powered by the people forming new friendships all over the world. What started as a personal mission became a shared journey in redefining travel – built on connection, purpose and environmental responsibility.

SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL

Our Commitment to Responsible Tourism

For us at Plotpackers, responsible travel is more than a promise, it's a practice. We design every itinerary, choose every supplier, and measure every impact with this in mind.

01
Carbon Calculation

Carbon Calculation

Sustainability starts with accountability. We calculate carbon emissions per traveller, per tour in line with DEFRA and IEA emission factors, and focus on reducing them at the source – not offsetting them after the fact. Every choice we make, from routes to resources, is guided by the goal of travelling lighter on the planet.

02
Local Supply Chains

Local Supply Chains

True environmental responsibility goes beyond the environment, it’s also about equity. We work with local suppliers who are paid fairly and treated as partners, not vendors. By keeping value within the communities we visit, we help ensure that those who live on the land are empowered to protect it.

03
Agency

Agency

Our approach goes beyond inclusion, it’s about agency. From our all-female local team in Peru to cooperatives and community-led projects worldwide, we champion suppliers who are creating social change within their regions.

04
Regenerative by design

Regenerative by design

Each trip is designed not just to do less harm, but to give back. That means supporting reforestation projects, community-led conservation, and circular-economy initiatives where possible. 

05
Transparency

Transparency

Our tours are built around respect, safety, and shared value, with transparent communication around pricing, pay, and environmental footprint.
