Wondering what to give to a backpacker friend? Then this might solve your problem. Hammock Republic is founded by backpacker and popular travel blogger James Betia, and it sells what else: Hammocks. When Betia went on a 100-day journey around the Philippines and another hundred more around Southeast Asia, he mostly slept on a hammock, which later on turned out to be his small company’s maiden product; the “Duoyan”, a hammock that transforms into a travel neck pillow. Proven to be durable and created from recycled materials by a few artisan community mothers, you can’t find anything better than this to give to your traveler friend.
