Backpacking can be a very rewarding and affordable way to travel around a variety of diverse countries, and offers a wonderful sense of freedom to go where you please and stop whenever you want to admire the scenery and local culture.

It is a good idea to make some basic plans before you leave on your trip, to ensure you have a good idea of how to get around and what places there are to dine and stay at during your trip that will meet your budget demands.

One of the first things you will need to decide is your destination.  You could choose to start in one area and then make you way across to another destination, and this could be a leisurely coast to coast trip in one country, or an epic trek across a continent, and this will give you some structure to your trip.

When choosing your destination you should consider some important factors such as safety and climate, so if you are going to an area with any kind of political instability check it is safe to travel before you leave, and also look out for monsoon seasons which can make travel very hot, humid and uncomfortable and can also cause delays with transport networks.:)
