Nowadays, it's so easy to travelling. Borjouis, backpacking, to the most extreme ways of travel... you name it. Informations are very easy to find (that's why they called this era 'Age of Information'). But back to the most fundamental rule of travelling: budget. Yes, people says money can't buy you everything. Unfortunately it seems this quote don't affect the term that every traveller must have enough money. You can shave your budget of course. But travelling isn't as merciful as your daily mall shopping, for sure.
The most popular way to travel lately is backpacking. Backpacking is the cheapest way to travel. You must push your needs beyond your average limit in order to cut your budget. It sounds hard, but trust me. Once you've done it, you'll realize how easy it could be done. And it's addicting!. People with ease share information about where to go, when, what should you see, etc. This means, chance for you to be the first one to travel to someplace out of ordinary is 'this' slight. I don't wanna be jealous to people who had done it and proudly boast their experience (I admit I envy them too, sometimes). But this question keeps popping out in my mind each times I read a travel log.
'What is the point of travelling?'
Some people doing travel so they could show off their achievements. 'I've been there... I've been here'. Some people just want to get loose from their routinities, trying to get some 'fresh air'. Others about business and research. And there's this few people, who just want to escape from nothing. Become a total stranger to themselves. Being one kind of them is not wrong. But myself admire, always, the last type. It's hard these days to find someone who ask about their existence in the world.
For me, travelling is not a choice. There's no first nor last time in travel. Travel's just as simply as a road, a never ending path, which we can't know for sure where it's headed.
