If people were to ask me what I like most about backpacking and travelling, the answer would be simple: everything. I mean, what’s there not to like? You get the amazing opportunity of seeing places you’ve never been to before, you meet different great and open-minded people every day and through that make friends all over the world, every moment is an adventure, you wake up thinking ‘so, what am I gonna do today’ – no stress, no responsibilities, no worries. The only things you actually worry about are: what & where am I going to eat, did I just pay too much for that sweater, should I do this tour or not, when’s the next cool event or party, will there be wifi, and most importantly… will my money last until the end of the trip? Besides the last question (which I guess many of us are asking ourselves on a regular basis anyway), those are pretty chill problems to worry about, don’t you think?
