I will tell you a few things on how to go backpacking, the backpack and save on the trip.

The backpackers have to take into account many things when planning a trip. In addition to the usual list of any traveler or tourist (the weight of the suitcase, flights, accommodation, activities,...) also have to be taken into account to try to make the budget for the duration of the maximum, prepare for change of transport several times… and adapt to always be in motion.

Here are the best tips to prepare for an adventure of backpacker with success. Go to traveling in Europe or trekking in the Amazon, these tips will help you to make the experience unforgettable.

Before you go

1. Investigates

Obvious, but what is there to stop. Despite the fact that a good part of the backpacking experience should be the spontaneity and freedom of movement, this does not mean that passes to investigate your destination or destinations. Take a look at the travel guides will help you to inspire you to structure your trip, and still give you more eager to embark on the adventure.

2. The suitcase with beam head

A good Backpacker (like everyone else) must adhere to the restrictions for carry-on baggage the airlines, but also has to make the suitcase thinking that you will have to carry the backpack to the back something more than a tourist. So make the bag with the head. Do You Really Need 40 pairs of socks? What 10 books? What 9 boats of moisturizer? Remember that even if you are abroad you can always wash clothes and buy cleaning products or cosmetics, so save yourself the space for the things that matter most. And although you may have a tight budget, things like a digital book reader or a tablet will save you a lot of space.

In the same way, the way how to make the bag you can you save time. Saves the essential things (which you intend to use at the top of everything to be able to access them without having to undo the backpack. The best place to shoes is at the bottom of the luggage.

3. Reserve in advance or not, that is the question

we return to the spontaneity and improvisation. What Planearas The travel and accommodation in advance or let the agenda in white? The response is reduced at the same time. Are you going to make a trip of three weeks in France or one of six months in Southeast Asia? Perhaps if you are going backpacking for a short time (2 months or less) to have the itinerary something defined will help you make the most of the time outside. However, if you have ahead months and more months it is difficult to make detailed plans. A good idea may be to reserve the first two or three destinations in advance, then drift off to the adventurous spirit.ç

4. Save money on attractions

once you are in the career you will realize that the money flies much sooner than you thought. Don't worry, you are stealing (at least we hope so). What happens is that you're spending as if you were in a normal vacation, and not going backpacking. No panic! There are many ways to save money without having to sacrifice the major tourist attractions that you have always dreamed of visiting. If you have a student remembers teach it whenever you can, as if it were a VIP pass, because it might be the way to go free or get discount in places. Many museums have days (or hours) in which are free.

5. How to eat

are going to visit many places then and it is normal to want to try new things. How do I comply with the budget with all that delicious food looking you in the face? It would be great to be able to always eat in good restaurants, but would cost you dearly. Treat yourself and eat somewhere cool from time to time, but we recommend that the rest of the time try the street food (in southeast Asia is to die for) or buy at the grocery store and cook the hostel. This, by the way, is a good way to engage in conversation with other travellers.

6. Talk to people

the backpackers can end in two areas. While some only relate to their compatriots (Spanish for "world") there is also the snobs who only want to speak with the local people. Both have good and bad things. The ideal would be to combine the two attitudes and enjoy the journey. While other travelers will be able to give you advice on what they have seen, to interact with the local population can be incredibly useful… in addition to enriching.

8. Get the most out of the destination

you spend a lot of time on trains and buses watching landscapes of film. When you finally arrive at your destination intend to enjoy to the maximum of not having head and no one to tell you what to do. Prevents the public transport and walk as much as you can. You will discover things that you would not know of any other way, such as urban art, beautiful shops and good coffee. Or maybe rent a bike and take a trip to the field. Try to immerse yourself both of each place as you can before hanging the backpack and leave.

8. Capture your memories

you have collected hundreds of notes, notes, photos, travel tickets to places and memories of all kinds during the trip. Much better to leave them lying in the bottom of the suitcase, why not take advantage and become an album? Or if your memories are digital, maybe you could make a video with the photos and videos, in addition to that song that you have not ceased to hear throughout the adventure. And always take some physical memory as a kimono in Japan or a magnet for the fridge. It is a good way to start a conversation with someone… if you want to tell more about your great trip.
