From Our Escapers
"I finally quit my job and I'm heading off to backpack Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and then Bali. I've been using Escape the 9 to 5 the whole time, and it's genuinely been so helpful."
"Thank you so much for all your tips! We're having the best time in Japan. Escape the 9 to 5 made planning so easy, and it's honestly turned into the best trip we've ever had."
"Thank you so much for planning our trip to Komodo. From the accommodation to the boat trip and, of course, Komodo Island itself, every part of the experience was incredible. It was genuinely one of the greatest trips of our lives."

Two escapers sharing their stories in hopes to inspire you to explore the world and leave the ordinary behind
A left-brain nerd who left behind a career in Finance to build a language school in Thailand. Now a full-time traveller, filmmaker, and storyteller chasing the next great escape.
An adventure photographer and cinematographer who traded the corporate world for a backpack and a camera. He captures the raw beauty of places most people never see.
