“He who would travel happily must travel light.” –(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry).

Travellers desire to travel light, but most of them aspire to travel happily. Sometimes, we need to play it smartly and wisely. Part of it is how you travel light! Carrying your essentials on your baggage is challenging. But don’t let your baggage (literally or emotionally) define your travels. Another way to appreciate the natural world through travel is backpacking. We list down the top secrets of backpackers on how to travel light.

 

Guide # 1. Decide on Your Backpacking Kit

(Here’s a guide when deciding what to bring as backpackers)

Tent

Backpacking tents are much lighter in weight than car-camping tents. They’re more compact and superlight materials and poles.

Backpacking Gear

For your first trip, you may start deciding on what backpack to bring or sleeping bag. Even what clothes to wear. Choose a bag that will fit your style and importantly you can put all your things inside it. Choose a clothing made of quick-drying and humidity wicking fabrics. As far as possible try to avoid cotton which takes long time to dry when wet. This may lead to hypothermia.

 

Guide #2: Use Your Feet (walk with your group)

Others say if you want to walk faster, walk alone; but if you ‘re going to walk farther, walk with others. This applies mostly to backpackers. Backpacking requires a great deal of strength and stamina typically. But if you’re not the type of fun into mountain climbing, walking trips is a manageable way to challenge yourself. Taking a train or car travel with long walks give you the opportunity to get a close and personal view of your goal places. National parks, old cities, and scenic shorelines are best experienced on foot. Walking are free! Either way, why rush? Just enjoy!!!

 

Guide # 3: Travel Like the Residents on Public Transport

Hanging with the locals is a very advantage in your part. You get vast knowledge and insight through them. It is more authentic travel experience and costs you less. If you are entirely new to travel or are starting to plan a trip and no idea where to go. This backpacking piece might give you a jump start.

 

Keep in mind that no two travellers are the same. What works for one, may not work for others. But before you go walking around the world, make sure you’re in shape. Get right attitude — and don’t overlook what’s beyond. Take it from Ursula K. Le Guin, “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” — The Left Hand of Darkness
