After our founder and CEO Alberto saw first hand the devastating impact of over tourism in South East Asia, combined with the fact that as a backpacker there was a shortage of quality products that were both versatile and lightweight, the idea of Tropicfeel was born.

And that idea was simple. Let’s create travel gear that is extremely versatile, lightweight, and sustainable, while also spreading the word and promoting conscious and respectful travel around the world.

Sustainability is one of our key design principles as we work to become a carbon neutral company. We’re committed to making Tropicfeel as green a brand as possible, and this impacts every decision that we make as we constantly seek to minimize our environmental impact

In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever.
