Backpacking is a term that has historically been used to denote a form of low-cost, independent international travel. Terms such as independent travel and/or budget travel are often used interchangeably with backpacking. The factors that traditionally differentiate backpacking from other forms of tourism include but are not limited to the following: use of public transport as a means of travel, preference of youth hostels to traditional hotels, length of the trip vs. conventional vacations, use of a backpack, an interest in meeting the locals as well as seeing the sights.
Questions:
1. Have you ever been a backpacker? Or have you ever travel along? Please share your experiences with us.
2. According to the article, backpacking is a way of self-identification for the backpakers. As your opinion, what do you know or think about backpacking?
3. What should a person going on a backpacking notice?
4. A backpack is the most important equipment to the backpacker. What else would you carry along if you were backpacking? Why do you think it's worth carrying?
5. Imagine you were going to a wonder land, what would you like to experience most?
