So you made up your mind and wanna head to the other end of the world. You got your plane tickets, you organized your visa, you know what places to see, and where to party.
Time to start relaxing, right? But did you also think about the biggest task waiting for you before you start travelling? The first step for a great trip begins even before leaving home. With most airlines limiting your luggage to one piece and 20kg, you have to pack carefully. And there are a lot more things to consider than just the weight.

Several of our Travellers Auto Barn staff members are backpackers and are living in backpacker hostels. We asked them about the pros & cons of living on a day to day basis in hostels …
Yet again, Nomads has made us smile, laugh and question ourselves. This time, it’s about hangovers and the food we naively believe will get rid of them quicker…
My “secret”, vegetable juice, preferably the original V8. And if you’re lucky enough to be in Canada, then Clamatto juice! Read on and see what Menz has to say then tell us what your secret is!
We always read about the best restaurants, best hotels, best sceneries around the world…but we all know that travelling, and especially backpacking, is not always easy breezy. Nevertheless, our best stories are sometimes about the most unpleasant experiences we’ve had in a foreign country, go figure! And the best part of it all is finding other people who’ve lived the same or a similar experience. That’s where the “Backpacker’s Worst Awards” come in.
