I have backpacked to M'sia, Thailand and Vietnam. Love back-packing. Economical and fun!

 

Definitely fun and absolutely economical. Used to backpack back during my school days in Milwaukee in '95. Spent one month making a roundtrip of the US backpacking by train.

 

Made a few friends over the Internet, told them I'd be coming over, bought an Amtrak Railpass (unbelievably cheap for foreign passport owners) and made my trip with a friend! At places we didn't have friends to stay over with, we bunked at youth and backpacker hostels. Me and my friend stopped over in Chicago, Syracuse, NY, New Orleans, Austin, San Antonio, Tucson, Tombstone, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Costed me under US$1000 for the whole trip. We took photos and kept them with all the ticket stubs, receipts, postcards, pieces of paper and other flat memorabilias we collected during the trip in 6 huge albums. My friend and I went everywhere together. It was the ultimate adventure across a continent, and just the two of us wandering all over a big country.

 

After the trip, my friend became my girlfriend. Much later, she became my wife.

 

 

 

 

 

Moral of the story : Backpacking can get you a wife.

Wow, you certainly get a lot out of the trip!

 

so you still backpack now with your wife?

[Guest ZZR-Pilot]

Sadly, no.. now working, a bit tough to get time off and backpack. Some more, girls when they become your wife they demand comfort. If you think they're rugged, can-sleep-anywhere type when single... heheh... wait until you tie the knot.. tent-and-campfire types suddenly demand hotel accommodation..

 

But we do have our interesting adventures elsewhere.. if you know what I mean...

how abt any of u guys been to Gunung Tahan in Pahang.. man dat mountain really live up to its name... really nid to tahan den can complete

[marcopolo]

i feel that the term "backpacking" has been misused since their hay days in the 60s...

 

those were the true backpackers man...nowdays you see 17-18 year old ang mo "backpackers" with credit cards, handphones, deuter bags, teva sandals, timberland raincoats and the list does on...

 

and their favourite food whilst in a tropical country like singapore and malaysia...MARS BARS, COCA COLA and BANANA...might as well stay at HOME!!!

 

you ask them to try durians, nasi lemak and penang laksa...they shy away...i remember encounter heaps of them at cameron highlands asking for fried rice everytime...

 

when i was in europe, it's actually an "IN" thing to tell you mates YOU"VE BEEN TO ASIA!!..but what do they do in ASIA...they lie topless in beaches, smoke all sorts of plants(I've got asked before in malaysia by a canadian backpacker where he can find POT), stay put in guest houses and watch american movies and only hang out with THEIR KIND...

 

occasionally, you will find that LONE RANGER...usually dun give you a good first impression but when a conversation actually starts...

YOU FOUND A TRUE traveller...one who experience whatever the country has to offer, one who is able to be independent and travel solo yet be social if need be, one who does not comment/criticise the host country.

 

I always feel that if we visit a country to expect it to be like back home...THEN WHY TRAVEL...

heheh..yup yup..went there in 1995...good training for the mental ....if u have been to tahan......places like kk n ledang or belumut considered much easier...i remember it was really gruelling...coz my grp go up from kuala tahan...den up up...to summit...den from there back track......there is an easier route which is from merapuh...tts wat my junior from sp adventurers told me......i wish i cld have gone to four step waterfalls...but at tt time all of us were too exhausted....i recommend if u go to tahan..take from merapuh..coz its nearer to the summit...at the same time..after u come down from the summit...can den proceed to 4 step waterfalls...den back down to teku..den down to kuala tahan.....shld take around 7 to 9 days depending on the speed of ur frens.....remember to wear tights....i remember leeches clinging to my waist above my tights...darn...wonder wld happen if they had been suckin on my B$#ls!!!
