Find­ing a place like this is not as dif­fi­cult– or expen­sive– as you might think.

Many of you will prob­a­bly believe-and right­fully so– that trav­el­ling is quite easy nowa­days: just book a train, bus or air ticket, make a hotel reser­va­tion online or through your pref­fered travel agent, pack and go. As sim­ple as that. But what if you don’t want to over­pay your air ticket? Or you don’t want a fixed sched­ule or itin­er­ary? What if you’re trav­el­ling inde­pen­dently– per­haps, prob­a­bly back­pack­ing– and maybe for a long time?

There are many fac­tors to be con­sid­ered when trav­el­ling solo, par­tic­u­larly when on a tight bud­get: Where can you find the cheap­est flight? What back­pack should you get? What should you carry, and what not? For answers to these ques­tions and many oth­ers vist my travel tips pages where you will find infor­ma­tion about:

• Choos­ing the right backpack
• Top 10 items you must carry when trav­el­ling independently
• Visas: do you need one?
• The best online travel search engines
• Low Cost Air­li­ness: the backpacker’s num­ber one choice.
• RTW and multi stop flights

Hav­ing vis­ited 60+ coun­tries I have hands on expe­ri­ence on how to travel on a bud­get, and by shar­ing it with you I will save you time, effort, and of course your hard earned money. Still, if once you have fin­ished read­ing the sec­tion ques­tions remain unan­swered or there’s a topic you think I should include please email me. Happy travels!
