In his "secret" money belt, bought super cheap (of course) from a friend who is local.

Just The Facts

Backpacking is a "holiday" for people who can quit their jobs for a vacation.
When speaking to a backpacker, never refer to it as something so trivial as a "holiday" - call it "travelling" or "seeing the world" or "my time abroad".
But a rose by any other name...is still just another way of delaying adulthood.

Backpacking - Motives

Hardship, mental stress and physical exhaustion all build character. But for some, these struggles don't come easy: They have to be sought out, accosted and wrestled to the floor. To really "get the most out of life," rich kids and insufferable hipsters have to spend a few months living like poor people in third world countries.

"Walk the Earth, like Kane from Kung-Fu - you know, as long as my iPhone works there."

With $3000 in the bank, a credit card, a guide book and a patronizing love for indigenous music shimmering beneath the surface, so do the wild douchebags venture forth into the world to live like paupers - provided, of course, that paupers live in guide book recommended hostels with hot running water, free Wi-Fi, clean beds and guided tours to local archeological sites to help you really experience your new culture without running into anybody actually from said culture.

How to Backpack
Some rules you should follow to successfully complete your "travels":

1. Don't stay in any one place for longer than a week. Everything that can be learned about a culture can be done in approximately seven days, including 20 hours of hangover time and 35 hours of blogging.


Yeah, I only spent 20 minutes there but I blogged about it for weeks!

2. Don't trust the locals: They're only there to rip you off, steal your belongings and sacrifice you to their ancient gods. Unfortunately, in many places one is obliged to do so.

3. Don't drink the water. Wherever you are. It'll make you infertile or something. We don't know what these fucking locals are drinking, but it sure ain't the water because there are filthy children everywhere. Or the salads. For some reason, there's something wrong with salads in countries that aren't yours.

4. Bring a cane. This has the double use of aiding your walk from the bus station to your hostel, as well as making you look wise and worldly to dirty unshaven backpacking chicks.


God, that cane makes him look a shaman, and that faux-hawk makes him look...well the cane is pretty hot, anyway.

5. Take pictures. Of absolutely everything. Exotic fountains, road signs, different electrical sockets, it's all relevant and all important. Remember, there are no bad pictures, and there are also never too many, thanks to Facebook bulk-uploader! Finally, remember to be pissy and entitled if they don't get enough comments.

Everybody cares about your "journey," they just don't know it yet!

I wouldn't even backpack to learn about peoples cultures. Fuck people. They suck.

I would want to see how the flora and fauna change throughout the world.

Unless you've traveled the world, careful with your over-generalizations.

Cool, do it. I've given complete strangers I was hosting long distance rides just for the hell of it -- and I know the spontaneous kindness made their day.

I suppose there isn't one type of "backpacker" though some of the stereotypes can be true. I think when traveling it is best to positively impact the place you are visiting by volunteering, helping a local project, working, interacting with the locals, etc. -- otherwise one easily slips into the old familiar cycle of hostel, bar, bus, hostel, bar, bus. Some travelers who thought they were going to be hardcore long-timers ended up getting bored and returning home; vista after vista eventually makes you numb, and chit chatting alone is insufficient for most people's requirement for stimulation.

Well, I suppose my view of humanity is extremely colored by living in America for my entire life. Maybe it is just Americans who suck.

But then again, there are things like the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition etc, that make me think twice about liking humanity as a whole.

The depth of evaluation of anything depends on where and how you zoom your lens. Whether it is an isolated tribe in Papua or a basketball team in Jersey, there is a lot of diversity and variability in groups, not to mention entire cultures and nations. Tragedies, stupidity, and assholes get to me too, but I strive to push through that and peak behind the masks we all wear. Perhaps the average joe on the street passes you and thinks 'what a fucking ____', yet here we simultaneously discuss the short-comings of others and pass over how we may be inaccurately perceived. A lot of conflict can be boiled down to misunderstandings, I believe.

Yeah, you're right.

Perhaps I should be more forgiving of humanity. I guess my hatred really stems from the fact that we haven't collectively discarded the idea of duality. That's really the main problem with our society.
