Lots of fun- and it builds character, too.
man - that sounds intriguing - although I'm sure walking across Texas would prove to be an untimley hazard - not only due to the rural nature of this land - but also to the fact that landowners here are particularly fiesty with weapons, and police and state troopers are cocksmocks...but please, elaborate on your walking trip.
States I've been to / lived in: Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Arizona, Florida.
Other countries: Mexico (Pto. Vallarta), Canada (Windsor, Toronto).
I guess my favorite place to visit is back home in Detroit... I miss it. Last time I was there was three years ago. My bestfriend came down and spent a week here (Florida), and then we went back up and spent a week there.
Never been overseas.
Personally I recommend that everyone at least take a month out of their life to go backpacking somewhere. I went backpacking for 6 weeks in Germany and Italy with two friends and that was the most fun I ever had. No plans at all... just a bunch of money, 6 weeks worth of time and EuRail passes... soooo much fun.
I agree 100%. That's the best. I can't wait to go back. :)Quote:

dude i'd love to go backpack somewhere - but shit...having lots of money is a problem for me. BTW -when you backpacked thru europe did you walk from town to town or city to city - or did you often times take public transportation?
Traveling is alright.
Canada was fun.
Yes. I went to Russia, Sweeden, Denmark and somewhere else.
I'd kinda like to go to Hong Kong.
Thats the first thing that popped into my head too.Quote:

Nah, the EuRail passes were for taking the trains from town to town. It's not really reasonable to walk from city to city if you want to actually see alot.Quote:

It's not that expensive to go backpacking in Europe. You can buy EuRails in NA for a fraction of what they cost in Europe itself. Plus, if you stay in hostels you can have a bed for the night for less than $10u usually.Quote:

Also, if you pick cheaper counties you'll obviously save more money. I acted like I was rich in Czech because everytime I saw what something cost and I did the conversion rare and I realised it cost 35¢ I'd splurge! It was great. I bought so much junk. ;)
I stayed in a really nice hotel in Prague for like $30u a night.
So, if you pick your spot you can definitely travel on a budget. Go check out the Lonely Planet books for some tips. :)
