So you’re off to explore the big, wide world: head filled with possibilities and hiking boots laced.
But a big trip brings big questions, like how do I go about choosing and packing a bag, how should I handle money abroad, and what the hell do I do when my hostel dorm is filled with snorers? Luckily this handy guide is filled with essential tips, advice and hacks to make your adventures on the road truly unforgettable.
I received this book as a birthday present from the friend I will soon be backpacking with!
I thought this little book was extremely informative, whilst also being entertaining and funny in places! As someone who has never been on a backpacking holiday before, I definitely have questions and concerns about this kind of trip that were all answered in this book. :)
I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who is a first-time or repeat backpacker, the book is split into 'Before You Go' and 'On The Road' sections that are jam-packed with useful information. The book is clearly well researched; with logistical information and 'insider' tips that clearly come from personal experience.
After reading this short book most of my concerns have been quelled and I am looking forward to my trip even more! (Bonus, this book is small enough to fit comfortably inside a backpack for 'On The Road' support!)
