Backpacking Adventure Travel

Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010 and filed under backpacking | 2 Comments »

If you are looking to take an adventure travel lasting a day or two, or over a long holiday weekend, a backpacking adventure travel may be a perfect solution. This type of adventure travel is usually easier to plan and will give you a nice break away from your everyday routine. Before you begin, you first have to decide how long you plan on being away.

If you plan on being gone for one single day, a daypack would satiate, but if you plan on going on a multi-day adventure travel, you would need to go for backpacking. With both these types, you would have to keep in mind a few more things. For example, the backpack for your backpacking adventure travel should come with sturdy shoulder straps. In addition to that, your backpack should also have enough padding and curves. This helps to keep your collarbone safe otherwise it would chaff it.

Another thing that must be understood with backpacking is having good zips. The zips should be strong and durable. And to make things easier for you, always try to opt for zips of the larger size. These types are always more reliable. Your backpack should also come with a good waist strap. And why is that essential for you? For the simple reason that it takes much of the weight off your shoulders and as such your shoulder would not get tired easily.

And the last thing that should be kept in mind before choosing your backpacking adventure travel is that the material of the backpack must be of the highest quality. You should not compromise on quality just because of cost. The consequences could be very problematic. Just imagine what could happen if the backpack gave out in the middle of your adventure travel.

So, you have got yourself a decent backpack for your backpacking adventure travel. Now the next thing would surely be getting an idea of the things that you ought to be keeping in your backpack. The very first thing that you should always keep in mind is that never in any case forget to take the maximum possible amount of water with you. You should also not forget to maintain sufficient amount of iodine tablets with you to treat the water you get while on your adventure. It is not possible to carry all the water that you would need during your travel and you are bound to use water from outside, and as such, iodine tablets are a must.

You will also need to transport food with you. If you pack each of your meals separately, you can save a great deal of space and you would be taking just enough food that you will need. In addition, you will also need to take some clothes. If you are planning a multi-day backpacking adventure travel, you have to take enough clothes with you to regular changes. You should also bring a good pair of shoes and do not forget a sleeping back and/or a tent.

Keep in mind that your preparation will greatly depend on the location you choose for your adventure travel, the type of terrain and the weather conditions for that area. Be sure to perform as much research as possible before you leave for your backpacking adventure travel to ensure you will an exciting and memorable experience.

What can you tell me about Backpacking in Europe?

Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010 and filed under backpacking | 3 Comments »

So in just about a year I will be backpacking in Europe for about 5 weeks. I don’t want to plan too much, I’d like to fly by the seat of my pants, but I would like to have a broad idea of great cities to visit and things to do there. If you guys have any suggestions on cities and things to do, or even travel tips that you wish you had known I’d love to hear them!

The general rule of travelling is this: Bring half the clothes and twice the money. It is even more so true when backpacking. Also, try to learn the basics of the language of the country you’re in. Even a ‘thank you’ spoken poorly will do more for you than any translator (well, you know what I mean!). Have fun.

How old should you be before backpacking across Europe?

Posted by admin on March 9th, 2010 and filed under backpacking | 2 Comments »

I’m currently 21, and I’m considering backpacking across Europe with my girlfriend. Am I too young to do this with only one person? Or even at all?

At 21 you are certainly old enough to backpack.
If you are mature, it is a good age to backpack alone or with just one friend.
Of course, if you have never had any long travels before you might find going for more than a few weeks lonely, so take that in consideration.

When you stay in hostels you meet people from their late teens to their late seventies, but most will be early twenties.

But if you feel you are not ready yet, you might not be ready and there is nothing wrong in waiting for a few years, and saving up a little more money.
When you get to 26 you will find that the costs go up, as you can no longer get youth reductions, so try to travel in Europe before that age.

What tent and sleeping bag would you suggest for ultralite backpacking?

Posted by admin on March 8th, 2010 and filed under backpacking | 2 Comments »

I’m looking for a tent that I can take backpacking with me and it needs to be fairly light, same with the sleeping bag. Also, the price needs to be fairly affordable. About £150 for the tent and the same for the sleeping bag.

What are some of the great places i should not miss whilst backpacking around Europe?

Posted by admin on March 7th, 2010 and filed under backpacking | 4 Comments »

I am currently in my last year at school and am planning on backpacking around as much of Europe as possible during 2010 with a mate.

I don’t want to miss out on seeing some great attractions so i am asking for your advice.

Thanks heaps!

P.S. I love thrills and partying… but i want to see the historical stuff as well!

Amsterdam is a must. Berlin, Prague, Vienna and Budapest are about as beautiful as Europe gets (they are all stunning!). Check out Rome for a bit of history and then head to Barcelona for great culture, food and nightlife.
