Although the economic slowdown is the best period to go backpacking but I have obligations that is stopping me from hopping onto the next flight and just go and walk around the world.
I came up with the idea of Virtual Backpacking using this blog.
I would use Google Map to draw out my Virtual Backpacking route.
Virtually stay at a certain hostel or couchsurf or sometimes in 5 start to relax..
Then virtually visit the area...
Constrain of time would still impact to my virtual route,that means I won't be going to the Louvre and be at Shang Hai the same day.
Now to decide where my first destination would be.....

Backpacking Philopshy 2
Backpacking is a the ultimate test of endurance and sanity.
Endurance
You might think running a 42km marathon is a test of endurance,
Try walking,running,hiking, for 4 months and about 4000km..
That's what a real backpacker does, and that's endurance.
Sanity
If you have been alone before, you know what it feels like.
Alone for 1 hour, you will feel nothing.
Alone for 10 hour, you would feel lonely.
Alone for 1 day, you would start to imagine things.
Alone for 1 week, you would be afraid of the littlest sound.
That's what you might encounter during a backpacking trip.
Some people might be alone throughout their trip, that's 1 month, 2 months or even more.
That's really a test for sanity.
Increase your endurance and you Sanity level.
Go BACKPACK!!

Backpacking Philopshy
What is Backpacking????
Why people love it???
Why people just want to go for it???
Backpacking is the representation of a search for Freedom.
Backpackers doesn't want other people to determine their travel route,
they want to decide where to go, when to go, and how to go.
That's Freedom!!
We could see some backpackers go for short backpacking trips like 7 days, 10 days or other odd number of days...
Some instead like to takes months or years in their search for the freedom they desire.
There's no right or wrong in the world of Backpacking,
just you have your way and i have mine,
We are in search of FREEDOM,
may we go continue to hold this idea and believe and walk through seven continents and swim through the seven seas.
