Comments on: Backpacking?

I guess backpacking in the traditional sense is more associated with camping and living in the wilderness, not in hostels, which is basically a cheap hotel and a luggage case would suffice. I've used mine a couple of times in treks. However most hostels/guesthouses/hotels have luggage storage so you can just take a small back on treks rather than everything. Maybe it's actually more of a fashion thing then people (backpackers) care to admit. .-= AdventureRob´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.adventurerob.com/2010/03/acdc-live-in-sydney/" rel="nofollow">AC/DC Live in Sydney</a> =-.

Perps hang out in lines at airports, look at luggage tags, and know you are going away. It is an easy burglary. Just put Name and Phone Number, grab a few extra airline tags, and change it once you are on the ground again.
