- Anything free is always tempting for them, even though they have to go like 30kms to get that

Backpacking is unique travel system. It is cheap and have more enjoyment. Not suitable for all. I am a backpacker. I have travelled 32 countries. Mostly in Europe. Out of 100 backpacker i found 70 are whites. Blacks are very less. Asisns too very less. Indians are few.

Exactly the same thing I saw as well while travelling. Backpacking is way too less here – the culture is growing but the population that we have in here, the percentage is negligible. Nevertheless, it is great to do it, cheap and full of adventure….
