Oh yes, I also have that all-Indian fantsy: go on a backpacking tour in Europe. But how do solo travellers afford it? How do people manage the itinerary? I don’t even know where to start?

It seems to be huge in Australia, and from what I heard, Europe.

Why don’t people do that in America? I could’ve sworn I’ve seen two filthy dudes with huge backpacks come into my local grocery store in Michigan, but other than that, it doesn’t seem like people backpack here.

In Australia, you can sleep at hostels, work at rural Outback farms/ranches, and have every one of your backpacking whims taken care of.

Quite odd.
