Backpacking Meccas?
So where are the best places to backpack? There are so many different routes and locales I’ve heard about that it can be difficult to know where to start. I came down to South America having already traveled fairly extensively in Europe, and I wanted to stay long-term so Southeast Asia was out. I know Spanish pretty well, but I sure as hell can’t speak any Asian dialect.
South America and Southeast Asia held the most appeal for me, mostly because of the exchange rate. As a new college graduate, I’m not exactly rolling in cash at this point in my life. My dollars go much farther here than they would in Europe. Buenos Aires can be experienced fairly cheaply if you really make an effort at it. I can only imagine what places like Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and others must be like. All in due time.
What are your favorite backpacking spots? I’m just getting started on my travels so I’m really interested in what some veterans think! Khao San Road here I come…
