Who We Are
My name is Peter and I’m the creator of DigitalDetoxTrips.com
The idea of setting up this site came to me while researching hiking routes in the Italian and Slovenian Alps in the spring of 2017. I was looking to get away from the hustle that is life as a software engineer in London. I’ve been spending a good 12-16 hours looking at screens each day and I just needed a break. Having grown up in Austria I have always been drawn to the mountains and I knew a few days in a rustic mountain lodge, reminiscing the adventures of the day over some home cooked dinner was just what I needed. I started to research options. Online. Just what I needed – more screen time!
I learned two things while exploring my options. One, organising your own multi-day hiking trip is hard work! It’s super research intensive, especially if you’ve never been to an area. And Two, many of my friends and colleagues who I spoke to during that time were curiously interested, grumbling something about their own smartphone and social media reliance.
At the time of writing I still haven’t been on my Alpine trip, but I’ve decided to not let my research go to waste. If my friends are anything to go by, I hope this site may help or inspire some of you to take the plunge and disconnect. Let’s see who gets there first!
Who We Are Not
This site is not a tour-operator or agency. We’re merely collecting interesting ideas and trips that we would enjoy ourselves.
Getting In Touch
We are always interested in new and exciting trips and ideas to add to the site. Please get in touch on Facebook or via email. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
