Britt asked:


My boyfriend and I are looking for a new hobby - something we can do together. We are both very active people, and we would like to try backpacking. We live in Texas, so how could we find a good place to go, and are there any crucial tips we would need to know to get started? Thanks!

How many countries can you see in Europe if you are backpacking through for about 1 -2 1/2 months during the summer. Being able to spend time and explore and enjoy each place, not just blow through it.

I am going backpacking across Japan for 30 days. I really need a quality pack that will be comfortable as well as light and have a decent amount of space. I am going to be packing light but a good amount of space is needed. Thank you.

It seems to be huge in Australia, and from what I heard, Europe.

Why don’t people do that in America? I could’ve sworn I’ve seen two filthy dudes with huge backpacks come into my local grocery store in Michigan, but other than that, it doesn’t seem like people backpack here.

In Australia, you can sleep at hostels, work at rural Outback farms/ranches, and have every one of your backpacking whims taken care of.

Quite odd.

I’m going for a month or so to Europe this summer by myself… how hard is it to meet people backpacking through europe, staying in hostels? I’m an average outgoing guy and usually doesn’t have too much trouble meeting people - I would just like to be able to go to bars and clubs and such and don’t really want to do that by myself. Any suggestions on where to meet people? Thanks

I’m traveling to London, Paris, Barcelona, and Rome.

Joe M asked:


I will be backpacking for 2 months and visiting almost every country in europe, once city in each country and using a eurorail pass and staying in hostels, sleeping on trains at night to save money, eating in grocery stores, etc. I will be going alone and am a college graduate who is somewhat of a shy person. I am hoping to change that and become more social and outgoing……Is this a logical conclusion? What should i expect coming out of this trip????
