Reasons for Backpacking
Have you ever wondered how it is to actually travel alone? Well, I know because I have been backpacking. I know how it feels to go to a new place and learn something new, and also make new friends. If you don't know anything about backpacking, read this article because I am going to offer you some tips/reasons.
Firstly, we have to understand what backpacking is. Backpacking is a form of low-cost travel. In other words, backpacking is a way where you can travel around without bringing too much money. But, you have to give up on luxuries like posh hotels and shopping.
You do not need to travel with your friends when it comes to backpacking. In fact, you can go backpacking on your own
Trust me on this; you won't be alone for long. Trust me a month of backpacking does not mean a month of loneliness. There are many other like minded people traveling the way you are.
From experience, I think that the easiest and most efficient way to make friends is by taking part in group activities like scuba diving or riding ATVs. If you are staying in a hostel, I am sure there are people around who travel in groups. Why don't you just ask with a smile if you can join them?
Another reason to go backpacking is because you need to cut loose from your life. Backpacing allows you to almost leave everything behind, without a worry.
Well if you are living behind your boy/girlfriend, here's a tip that I can offer you. You should take a timeout before you leave. Well, if you are in a serious relationship the I suggest that you both should come out with ground rules when you are away.
It is never easy to travling alone. The first step is always the hardest. You need to know what you are doing
If you think that you don't know what you are doing, you should do some research about the countries you are going to before setting off? The other thing you should remember is that you also should learn how to manage you money well. The best suggestion I can give you is that you should take some pointer on managing your money.
Backpacking involves dealing with a different culture that you may find it hard to bear. Take it as a learning experience. Afterall, that's the purpose of backpacking.
I always carry a guide book or a book which translates English into a native language around. Trust me, it helps. This sounds corny but you can consider carrying a picture of your family with you, in case you get home sick.
Bringing home the different perspective of life is priceless. Some may be wondering why I say this. Simple, you have a first hand experience of different cultures and knowledge.
How? You should try to participate in as much activities as you can while you are in another country. And the last tip I can give you is that you should learn as much as you can about the culture of the people in the country.
So, there you have it. All the reasons (or excuses) you need to take a break and go backpacking. What are you waiting for? Start packing! - 2368
