Backpacking Tips
Backpacking Tips
Tip # 1
Make sure that your backpack is not too ridiculously big as to attract photographers like myself!
Menton, France
Tip #2
Do as the Germans do: Bike-pack with your motorbike!

Venice Port, Italy
Tip # 3
You can start it young!
Corfu ferry terminal, Greece
Tip # 4
Be chic. Be cool. Look good.
Your “make-the-train-ticket-lady-swoon” looks will give you an added advantage like getting the best seat, less queueing time on the counter and even getting your 10-bed hostel room booking upgraded to 5!

Tip # 5
Buy your food from the market. It’s a great way to try the local cuisine and regional specialities without breaking your budget. Pick up a loaf of bread, some cheese and sausages. With just few euros, your provisions may last you for two days or more.
Tip # 6
Comfortable footwear is a must!
Tip # 7
Taking a picture of a loved one when backpacking could rid you of homesickness
Tip # 8
Backpack with a recumbent bike if you have a bad back
Tip # 9
Let your passion (for shoes, as in this photo) shine even while backpacking
