Meet your creators of Backpacks and Beat Drops
We are two best friends with the same love for music and adventure. We are dreamers and doers. We have quit jobs, purposely missed flights, slept on floors, snuck backstage, and met some incredible people who will continue to be a part of our lives forever. So far, we’ve collectively attended 23 festivals and traveled to 30 different countries. This is our passion and what we dedicate our lives to. Backpacks and Beat Drops is home to stories, insights, and guides meant to inspire others with the same aspirations to go out and chase them.
Why did we create this website?
The human race is suffering from a pandemic. We struggle with happiness. We want things in life, but it’s easier to dream than to do, so we never get anywhere. And when we try and it doesn’t go to plan, it’s scary, so we quit. The uncertainty is the worst part because we HATE rejection and failure. But would you avoid taking that risk if you knew you were going to succeed? There’s no way of knowing, so might as well send it!
Ever since acquiring that mentality, our lives have been one beautiful, wild ride, chasing and reaching dreams we never thought were possible. We believe that you are capable of doing the same with your life, and we want to help make that a reality for you.
Our names are Casey Stabosz and Claudia Szczepaniak, and we are your creators of Backpacks and Beat Drops. #takemetoyourleader
