Backpacker Tips


No need to bring clothes a lot. just bring six pieces of clothing, two trousers and two shorts. There is also a backpacker a more efficient place, just take three pieces of clothing, first washed, first used, and one to spare. Bring clothes that the material is lightweight, quick-drying, color neutral, and not cepet crumpled. Packing for backpacking is not about what you bring, it is about what you not bring. If it's innards, take quite a lot. Outerwear may not change, change, bloomers do not let side A-side B. For shoes, bring a maximum of two footwear and rubber flip-flops 1.

When we are traveling, we are guests in the country. Follow the custom in that country, make people respect towards us. Dress as the locals do. If the purpose of our culture and traveling to meet new people, start to mingle with them. Learn all the Do's and Dont's. For example, in Italy and the Vatican, do not try to wear shorts and a tank top shirt because it will be refused entry to the church and the cathedral. In Bulgaria, while shaking his head nodding is not is yes.

Bring money with its combination: banknotes, coins, debit cards, and credit cards. For example, when new until a country, if you just had a big banknotes, try to pecahin first. These coins will be used to take the metro or other transportation into the city. If going to a country with a currency that is hard to find in Indonesia, such as Myanmar, Cambodia, or Vietnam, bring ATM cards and withdraw money when it gets there. Find an ATM machine that has a logo similar to the ones listed on the card. Safe anyway, search engine VISA / Mastercard.

If traveling to remote places, such as villages or islands, try to bring cash only. Save these bills in a money belt and carry enough money in the wallet daily.

Searching on Google, search the website for comparing hotel prices. Occasionally, the hotel has a promo and a disco. Do not forget to compare prices with the distance of the hotel to the city center and the facilities that we will get. Do not let you're booking a cheap hostel and was much more expensive fare to the city. Or booking a cheap hostel turned out to be located in the red light district.

Safety and security first! Always remember this if another traveling. Bring photocopies of all important documents in the bag, at least 2 pieces each, such as a photocopy of your passport, insurance policies, ID cards, visas, etc. Bring a padlock to lock the bag, if the backpack, on-wrap before check-in luggage, put stickers fragile. Bring a padlock to lock the bag in a locker, on the train, in the closet, etc. Disposable money belt to keep your passport, money.

Memorize some important phrases in the local language. That alone is enough to survive and get respect from the local people.

Never accept anything without the agreed costs how much. Try to always negotiate the price, especially in developing countries. If reading experience from another traveler, India is a country with people who are buying and selling a lot of tricks that deception.


do not be too busy taking pictures and selfies. Look, look, and see events with the eye. Be present. This is your journey of a lifetime. To recall, I usually take a travel diary, listen to music, and writing alone in the garden, while looking people coming and going.

Backpacker, what is it?


Before you call yourself a backpacker, backpacking you should know the definition itself. I often encounter on incorrect assumptions about the meaning of backpacking itself, as long as it's activity, people have thought of backpacking.

The main principle of backpacking is independent (not traveling with a tour group), travel light (carry as little as possible), educated (didactic) and cheap travel (traveled by the way, low cost). More specifically, there are some other things that distinguish backpacker with ordinary travelers.

Backpacking can be interpreted as a method or means of travel. Each person must have its own way to spend his time off or take advantage of each. Anyone visiting certain places such as shopping or a night club. So do not be surprised if there are people who are willing to travel thousands of kilometers long and grueling course just to shop or just want clubbing at nightclub alone. There are also people who are only willing to stay in luxury hotels and super expensive and eat at upscale restaurants. And there are also some people who are only willing streets in groups using a travel agent.

Likewise with the knights air-backpack or often called backpacker. They have their own way when the roads. Backpacker genuine only to travel independently or independently. That is, they do not want to use the services of travel agents especially at great expense. The duration of their stay somewhere the average traveler is also longer than usual. Therefore the backpacker is always choose to stay at home or specialty contacts with the cheapest accommodation and dining in a simple meal. Cheap paced selection was chosen not because they are incapable of (poor), but because they really know how to set spending so that money that they had actually used for things that are desired, not because of sheer luxury. Therefore, there is no reason to feel embarrassed or inferior when acting as a backpacker.
