- Always prepared with extra plans if something doesn’t go right
- Have friends from all around the world
- Huge bag but only one bag – always!
- Will never look like tourists but very likely will look homeless

- Have no trouble in new places, in fact, they love it
- Anything free is always tempting for them, even though they have to go like 30kms to get that
- They love to explore the neighbourhood – not afraid about unbeaten paths
- They love to talk to random people and listen to their stories and are never shy to share their most embarrassing stories to them
- They sniff their clothes to see if they are clean – 100% of the time
- They are totally okay to spend 10 hours of bus journey than to pay anything for a 2-3 hour flight
- They can pack anything in 10 minutes and be ready to go

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….
