About the Adventure Travel Buddy App

It all started with Livio, who has been backpacking and trekking in Nepal (and the rest of the world) for over 20 years. As part of that activity, he began to write an independent outdoor travel blog (Realworld Adventures) and shot videos (2.4+ million views on his YouTube channel 3minute Adventures).

In every trekking season Livio searched for trekking buddies (generally with Post-it notes in cafe’s) and was successful 50% of the time. Then a few years ago he decided that a more robust solution was needed so he created the mobile app called “Trekking Nepal" - Now called "Nepal Trekking Community”.

And then Livio became passionate about bikepacking, which he had dabbled in over the years (Tibet, Canada, France, Uganda and Tazie in early 2025). Once again, an app was created (Bikepacking Community), this time focused on bikepacking trips worldwide and community forums for members to find cycling buddies or share their stories.

This year he got the idea to create an app called Backpacking Community that includes worldwide backpacking coverage and community forums. The starting point for the app will be travels from his blog site Realworld Adventures and the ability to to import data from other sources. Coming soon...

The Marathon Community app was next in the rollout with select marathons around the world as a starting point to gauge interest. Coming soon...

Finally, one day I may pull all four of these apps (plus any other derivatives together) under the umbrella of this site and maybe a new overall app. Who knows?
