3 Affordable Places To Backpack In Summer 2013

Life is stressful and everyone needs to let go once in a while, let go of the technological devices that enslave us and bosses and professors who give us deadlines and assignments.

To get away from these commitments, people take vacations and go to hotels and exotic destinations, but the problem is that they take a heavy toll on the bank account!

But don't worry, I have a solution for it that costs less and is potentially more refreshing!

A good way to get away from the hubbub of everyday life, you should consider going backpacking to a foreign country, particularly the ones in the east. Travelling to a different country opens your eyes to a world which is very different from your own and it makes you realize that this planet is so different on the other side.

People talk different languages, eat different food and dress differently; it opens your eyes to a world of possibilities. It's an experience that often changes your outlook towards life and you once you start, you only feel like doing more!
