Going on a long backpacking trip is quite a big decision, especially if you are travelling solo. No wonder everyone around you has lots of questions and opinions. Some people will be excited for you, others less so. But I can assure you, they will all say things you will soon be sick of hearing. I have put together a list of my least favourite things you hear before you go solo travelling.
I may be a backpacking newbie, but travelling itself is nothing new to me. I suppose I have my parents to thank for showing me the world is big and taking me to places like Italy or Austria since a very young age and waking up this wanderlust in me. Which of my all-time favourite travel destinations do I recommend?
January. That time of the year when people are reflecting on their lives and creating various resolutions (of course you’ll go to the gym every day now, we believe you…) but I’m not here to talk about my New year’s resolutions. I want to talk about my last year’s one.
