backpacking

I'l also been backpacking for 6 months. That raised an eyebrow when he looked through all the stamps.

I'm freelancing for ~45 hours a month to fund this while backpacking all over the world. I should blog about it.

Go book a cheap flight to South America and go backpacking for a few months. Live on $300 a month, meet interesting people.

Your profile says you dropped out of college and are currently backpacking the world. Is that a waste of your intelligence?

This reminds me of the time in 2000, when I left the US for a 6-month backpacking trip in SE Asia. While in Thailand, I "lost" my wallet sleeping in a hammock at this bar...

I spent 9 months backpacking from Guatemala to Buenos Aires. There are thousands of people who do this sort of thing every year, and you'll meet lots of expats.

Travel the world, go backpacking for weeks in the woods, live out of your car, read too many books, appreciate art, volunteer. Take chances and explore.

I have more time to work because I'm not dating and partying and backpacking. While trying to elicit sympathy, this narrative actually does more harm than good.

Many older people successfully start companies; far fewer stay out partying with their friends until 4am or go backpacking across Europe. I'd argue you can find a balance.

For example, I don't have a lot of 'stuff' but I do have a couple of hobbies that require 'stuff' like rock climbing and backpacking. My girlfriend who lives with me is an avid scrapbooker, which inherently means she will have a lot of stuff.

A guy in my group wasn't very fit, and he got it from several days in a row of intense distance while backpacking. We were told how insanely rare it was when he got back, and the doctor at the time told him it was only seen in guys in boot camp.

I built one of these for backpacking trips for a little less than $5 for a wooden disk, a couple plumbing bits and a clip belt. Silly looking when you're walking around with it, but infinitely better than sitting on a wet log next to the campfire.

When I went backpacking round the world I was able to pick up a pay as you go SIM card from a local store in any country, load it with credit and pop it in my phone and I'm all good to go. None of this sharing information from my phone business.

I've experienced this any number of times, mostly when backpacking in the Adirondacks in overcast conditions. I've woken up in the middle of the night with no feeling of vision at all -- no sense of light or dark.

I spent about three months backpacking Europe, then came back and spent a few more hanging around and doing odd jobs around town. Eventually, I started code in my free time again, and about a year later, came back into the profession refreshed.

The ones you rope into dirtbag backpacking trips, hopping chicken buses through Central America. And the ones who, through accident of fortune, now make roughly 15% of your currently inflated salary.

It's nice to say you're a picky person who doesn't like superficial relationships, who only wants a handful of close friends you can engage with in a meaningful way, but then you plan a backpacking trip and realize there's some climbing involved and it isn't safe to go alone. You could limit yourself to whatever your friends like to do.

I'm sure AirBNB is great for a night or two if you're backpacking and just need a matress to crash on before you move on, but if you're expecting anything more than that, I would highly recommend against using it.

All the purging and living with no items type of lifestyle is nice for me to think about but I have hobbies that require stuff like rock climbing, backpacking, play guitar, etc. so I can't really just live in an empty room.

It means I can, among other things, pick up a full-time development gig to sock away some extra runway, take off and go backpacking around the world, or better still, build yet another rent-paying product without having to spend a significant amount of time keeping the old stuff alive. It seems like on a lot of stacks, keeping the server alive, patched and serving webpages is a part-time job in itself.
