I’m going for a month or so to Europe this summer by myself… how hard is it to meet people backpacking through europe, staying in hostels? I’m an average outgoing guy and usually doesn’t have too much trouble meeting people – I would just like to be able to go to bars and clubs and such and don’t really want to do that by myself. Any suggestions on where to meet people? Thanks

I’m traveling to London, Paris, Barcelona, and Rome.

i will mainly be in hostels and will be going from bangkok all the way north to chiang mai, what items will i need im a 6foot male i guess that buying the clothes there are out of the question because they wont fit, or will they? what would you guys take for a month backpacking? thank you

I plan on backpacking europe next summer and don’t even know where to start. How much should I save? Which country is best to start? How do I avoid tourist areas?

Recently, I bought a pair of Vasque Gore-Tex hiking/backpacking boots for my upcoming trip to Philmont, New Mexico for a Boy Scout trip. How do I know when they are broken in? I have been wearing them around town and the house for about 3 days.
