Get the backpacking ideas and tips


Backpacking is a form of travel and in simple words 'backpackers' are usually single travelers with low budget to discover the world with small travel luggage which is called 'backpack'

Start Backpacking is for backpackers and vagabonds offering news, tips, ideas, guides and all necessary information which one may need to start 'backpacking'.
They says:

'It is not as expensive or as difficult as people think, and no matter what your age its never too late to start vagabonding. You aren’t alone. Loads of people know that waking up and making rich old men richer is not the way to live.'


The site is for backpackers and vagabonds. The site explains the term meaning very well!

Vagabonding
:

Rolf Potts, author of the book Vagabonding, describes it as:

“The act of leaving behind the orderly world to travel independently for an extended period of time” and “A deliberate way of living that makes freedom to travel possible”.

So put simply, vagabonding is the act of choosing experiences and travel adventures over working away your life for material things.

There is a difference between vagabonding and vacation: A vacation is an attempt to squeeze a year’s worth of enjoyment, relaxation, and adventure into a 2 week or 10 day package. What often results is an expensive distraction, and then an unsatisfied return to reality, which is always waiting at home. In fact, after vacation, you find yourself worse off than before you left, playing catchup with work, mail, chores, etc.

Someone that is vagabonding never really returns completely from their trip. They may be home, earning money at work, etc… but always they are in the mindset to leave again. A vagabonder works only to provide the fuel for travel and adventure, not to build a lifestyle of fashion and toys.

Their 'backpacking guide' has been helping people since 2007 and explains it many steps like:

1: Get a Passport for Travel
2: Planning a Travel
3: Getting Visas for Travel
4: Vaccinations for Travel
5: Find Cheap Flights
6: Backpacking Travel Insurance
7: Travel Preparation
8: Trip Purchases
9: Packing a Backpack
10: Before Leaving Home
The Journey Begins!
The new backpacker forums are full of both experienced travelers offering advice as well as fellow rat race escapees that are looking for some inspiration and brotherhood. The forums are the living heart of our site and there are new backpacking tips posted daily.

Discover yourself 'Which hobby best suits your personality?'

Sometimes we feel very enthusiastic about variety of hobbies and pastime but later we realize that there are few of those hobbies which actually suit your personality and you are really passionate about.

Is there any measure which can suggest us to discover our passions towards hobbies or pastime? or which pastime may fit our interest?

'CNN leisure' has offered an online quiz which can help you find the best hobbies or pastimes to fit your personality.

I have taken the quiz and the result was:

CREATIVE

'You have a gift for expression. Whether it's writing, drawing, creating objets d'art or making music, you see the world in a unique way and are able to convey that to other people. No doubt you doodle on napkins and meeting notes, are always humming a new tune, have already read the latest fiction releases, and know all the local art galleries' schedules by heart. You might like hobbies like sketching, photography, sculpting, playing an instrument, singing, journaling, scrap-booking or designing clothing.'

Join the social network for hobbyists 'Hobby Thing'

I am a members of many forums/online social community sites, because it helps me learn more about the topics I am interested like hobbies, blogging, education and etc. There are number of people with like minded interests, blogs, tips, and ideas. And it is very amusing to interact with those people having same interests.

Hobby Thing is a social network for hobbyists and collectors. It is a place for hobby enthusiasts to meet and discuss their interests.

Their opinion about hobbies:

'Hobby is like a too big word for everyday interests and lifestyle. If you are passionate about something it is you hobby. It does not have to be collecting stamps or anything like that. Working in your garden to make it look all nice and pretty is a hobby already; or experimenting with cooking to impress your loved ones.

Hobby is anything that makes you relax, happy and takes your mind away form everyday troubles...

Sometimes would be cool to talk to someone who the same as you likes to dig in a garden, read long time forgotten classical literature or simply cycle around for a pleasure.'


You can register for free.

At their 'forum' you can talk to others about cool and popular hobbies and this is the place to talk to other hobby enthusiasts!

There are interesting and useful hobby articles like, 'What is teabag folding hobby?', 'My adventure with meditation' etc. Yor are allowed to submit your articles as well.

- There are 'hobby groups' at the site on popular hobbies and if you don't find related group then you are allowed to start your own group there.

You get their support as a hobbyist as they say:

'We want to give a chance to hobbyists, who put their first steps turning their passions into professions. Members are more then welcome to advertise their work in their profile for free. They can also find others with similar interests, make friends and maybe get some advice on the subject too.'
