Backpacking Reviews
Backpacking refers to a cheap and independent form of travel and exploration and involves carrying the least amount of items and having the most of experience and understanding. It is hard to define what backpacking truly means as the overall backpacking culture is far too complex and features people from every corner of the world. Neither is it possible to pinpoint a particular start point to backpacking as people have travelled light for as long as one can remember.
A backpacker may travel within his own country or venture off to other corners of the world.
