Nah I have yet to embark on a backpacking trip, these are just some nice pictures I randomly took. Hanoi's stories about her 4 months around the globe backpacking journey simply awed me to the max! I really could not imagine someone like her doing that, it was really brave man... I promised myself that before I start work proper, I would go on a road trip alone! Friends brought up some points which are quite true. If you go alone, you get so lonely you would start talking to strangers around you! And that's when you really learn more about things around you. If you are to go on a backpacking trip with even one friend, most probably you're gonna be stuck in your own world...
