5 Tips To Rock Your First Backpacking Trip

You are ready with your backpack and passport to get stamped. The only thing left is to decide where to head and what all you will do when you reach the destination. Studying a few maps will help with the first problem, but won’t do much for the second, so allow us to provide a dash of inspiration.

1. Road Trip

Buses and trains are an important part of the backpacking experience but when it comes to sheer wind-in-your-hair freedom, nothing beats a road trip. Some countries are better suited for driving than others. Try Australia or New Zealand with a campervan (surfboards optional), or head to the USA for cheap gas and fast food.

2. Hiking

You can travel the longest route with least of time, but when you opt walking routes, the time multiplies 4x. Though, walking would take ample pf time but if the view is breath taking, hinking is owrth it.

3. Solo Trip


Stepping out into the big wide world can be a scary thought. So why, why, why would you want to do it alone? Well, flying solo means there’s only one person to please (that’s you). It also forces you to think on your feet; only you can decide where to go next, or how you’re going to handle tricky situations. Traveling alone, helps you makes friends easily.

4. Food

Instead of doing the usual tour of museums and landmarks, why not fit your trip around food? You could spend years getting to grips with the street food scene in Southeast Asia, for example, and that’s before you even start on the restaurants.

5. MiniBreak

To get your backpacking career off to a soft start, try a few days of camping and hiking near home, or maybe do a week or two of hostelling in a country with a culture similar to your own. If things work well – and you don’t drive yourself too crazy you can start planning a bigger adventure.
