Backpacking Tips

welcome baackk!!! this time im gonna tell you about backpacking tips.

everyone loves travelling and many of them likes to travel alone or with a group. there are 5 cheap backpacking tips.

1. Pack Light
              With backpacking, your mantra should always be pack light. Four pairs of jeans is going to weight you down when you're hiking or running to catch the train. Leave stuff behind and streamline what you're bringing with you. Only pack what you can replace, and save money of overweight luggage fees when you fly.

2. Get a Hostel with a kitchen
              Try one of the hundreds of backpacker-friendly hostels across the world. the best ones have free breakfast, or even a communal kitchen with access to cooking stuff. If you buy groceries and make a couple meals in the hostel, you can save a ton of money over a long trip. You can also make new friends in the hostel kitchen.

3. Bring Your Own Snacks
               Being on an adventure and living out of your trusty backpack can really drain you. Snacks might seem like a silly addition to your gear, but it can really help you keep energy levels high between meals and rests. Even in the cheapest countries to visit, local vendors know that snacks are necessary during travel, and they tend to jack up the prices on quick bites to eat; dodge this unforeseen expenditure and bring your own protein or granola bars.

4. Walk dont take a Cab! 
                 Don’t let the convenience of a cab ride lure you in. There are milage costs and tipping the driver. Also, sometimes cab drivers take you on the “scenic route” to hike your fare, or just flat-out overcharge you. Walking, while also being super good for your body and the earth, is really good for your budget. If you want to go somewhere and it’s too far of a walk, look to public transit to get you there. Busses and trains are cheap and usually reliable.

5. Be careful of Pickpocket
             No matter where you’re backpacking, if it’s Europe, Southeast Asia, or somewhere else, cities have some form of pickpockets or scam artists. They can spot a tourist from a mile away, and will go out of their way to take advantage of you. It’d be heartbreaking to be staying on budget and then have that all ruined by a theft, so you need to keep your money close at hand. The best way to do this? Hidden pockets and money belts.
