Traveling with a backpack is quite a unique experience. It means discovering new cultures away from the luxury hotel suite and resorts, it means getting connected to nature around you and being in touch with people and the environment that you would have never experienced before. It also means seeing whatever destination you decide to chose, a little more personal and up close and taking in the natural beauty that maybe you did not know was there before, or that you could not discover if you were to stay in a hotel.  When it comes to backpacking, some destinations are better than others.
