Prepare your backpack! Let’s start a new journey.


Backpacking is not only the way you choose to travel. It's a lifestyle, and you will never be too young, too old or to wealthy to be a backpacker to start your own journey.

In this blog, I will introduce some backpacking tips such as how to travel through Couchsurfing, how to plan your volunteer vocation, which website can be used for your trip and most important, how to save money.

I’ve met so many amazing people via Couchsurfing. I got the chance to live in a sea-view house alone in Sydney one week for free. I worked in a farm in Canberra and got the chance to sell vegetables and chickens at a local market. I’ve met different people in hostel dorms and we talked about everything, from life, culture to philosophy. I have hugged with lady-boys in Thailand. I have sat in the Central Park for a whole afternoon trying to imagine I am a New Yorker. I have biked lake-round in plateau. I have hiked in the desert during summer time. I have watched sunrise in the arctic area in front of a polar bear jail...


I did enjoy all my trips and I traveled in a very limit budget. I am willing to share my experiences and tips with you. Are you ready to follow me and start to pack your luggage? Let’s go!
