An introduction to Backpacking
Backpacking is probably the most satisfying way
to travel and see the world that one could wish to take. There are no set
schedules to meet, no set meal times, you can travel where
you want, travel when you want and travel how you want.
The question I get asked most is: "Will
I be lonely if I travel on my own"? The answer: It
depends on yourself. I personally do not find it easy
to strike up a conversation with a stranger but I know I
meet more people during a trip than I do at home, the reason being, people traveling alone are far more likely to strike up a conversation with another solo traveler than than they would with a member of a group of traveler. I have
never felt alone on a trip, in fact it is almost impossible
to travel and not be drawn into some conversation by someone
unless you deliberately avoid it.
A little bit of planning will go a long way to making your trip more enjoyable, check our Adventure Tours and our Hostel Booking pages you could also check our planning page for help, or our equipment pages to make sure you have everything you need, especially a good jacket mens Patagonia Jackets and womens Patagonia jackets even check out our tips pages there are plenty of useful tips here. Try this page for female traveler tips with lots of tips and links to female travel related sites. We also have a Eurail section, this gives information on rail prices and rail passes for most European countries. For those who like that little extra comfort in their travels we have our Hotels with bargains and Special Offers section. All the hotels listed (over 300) in various Countries and States are very good quality and have at least one special offer on offer. Some are free breakfasts some are pay for 2 nights stay for 3 nights etc. All very good money saving bargains. One thing you should NEVER travel without is a camera and ample film for the trips duration. I always take more film than I think I will need. Nowadays it is easier and much more cost efficient to take a digital camera with a few of the larger 256MB or 512MB smart media card / memory cards. |
