A few things backpacking has taught me!

One of the main things, I've learnt, That within 2 days at any backpackers in the world, any city, place or time. You will meet and greet people and begin to share stories, travels, laughters, ups and downs with people.I truely believe this is open to everyone out there in this big bad world. So don't let anything hold you back.

A simple hello, g'day, nod of the head will get things started. I think its a really cool, way to live and travel. That you could end up in paris, london, new york, melbourne, hell even mount isa and end up sharing trip of a life time, well in mount isas case, maybe you got lost? LOL!

Most of my travels before were via, hotels/motels etc.. So get out there and don't let the fact you are on ya own hold you back from travelling. All you need is a bed to sleep, a place to store your stuff and a few travel friends to experience the world..

And the fact you might have a partner, doesn't have to stop you either. Ok, if you've been married a few years, have a few kids and want that romantic trip, this might not be an option, unless you are swedish? Though I am not really sure, what that really means in the end.
