baby changing backpack uk image
MayO
Ive wanted to venture out into the world all my life and now is my chance. Im a college student with an open summer schedule! I want to really explore down to the nitty criddy of a country but all the trips ive researched so far are to darntie and luxurious which isnt what I want. I want a very raw experience that I can truly reflect on and something that has the potential to be life changing! Any ideas where I could sart? Or if any of you have been backpacking before do you have any websites I could look at? Thanks so much for the help :)
p.s. im a 20 year old female so as much as i would LOVE to go out and explore on my own, im not naive and my parents wouldnt be to ecstatic about that.
Answer
Well well, 20 year female....want the good news?
There are hundreds and hundreds of 20 year old females or 18-22 year old females anyway all over the world from a lot of different countries and all in different countries than they started from.
Mom and Pop...got that bit?
Hundreds are in South Africa. Very few of them get any problems. Those are the few that make newspaper headlines.
The thousands that get home safe and happy never get a whiff of being turned into world news do they?
The one who gets trouble is on the front page and that's the one everybody hears about and assumes that South Africa is nothing but rapes and murders.
You get stories like that from New York as well. And from Phoenix, and from Atlanta and London and Berlin and Paris and Rome and your own nearest city and anywhere else.
Still around Mom and Pop?
The reality is that South Africa is one of the friendliest countries on Earth. I've seen it.
So for a life changing adventure, why not go and have a look?
It's beautiful, the food is Wow! and it's cheap.
You can do it all without any problems right from home cuz you're on here so you have a computer or access to one.
You book a flight to Jo'burg or Cape Town or wherever around three months in advance for the cheapest price, get a passport, sort the visa online, get any meds you need, and by then it's getting close to leaving time so book a bed in a backpacker hostel or a hotel, tell the bank to expect foreign transactions on the cards, get some travel insurance from a local broker in town, pack a few things but not much, and off you go laughing all the way to the airport and the start of a big adventure.
Just like around 500 other 20 year old females will be doing that week from the USA Canada Australia New Zealand South Africa, Namibia, a dozen other African countries and lots of European countries , and loads more from China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, India, Thailand....well, you get the picture.
Join the happy club of world travellers. It's easy if you have a bit of cash to do it with.
Mom shaking her head in disbelief now eh? Hi, hallo.....keep smiling. It gets even better
Backpacking is a world wide billion dollar business.
Even Moscow has around a dozen backpacker hostels. They are safe places to stay. Most hostels these days you get a card key for the room.
You can't get in without ID and you get friends in minutes from all over the world.

South Africa...Bomvu Paradise. It is too. I didn't want to leave. And I met a 70 year old Dutch lady who sold her house so she could travel for years. Lovely. A Japanese guy and his wife invited us to tea and they made a proper job of it..a traditional Japanese meal, properly laid out.
He was wonderful and he could do Tibetan chant too.
It was just beautiful knowing those folks in such lovely surroundings, and all cheap to do.
