Comments on: 7 Things You Do Backpacking That You Should Do At Home http://artofbackpacking.com/7-things-you-do-backpacking-that-you-should-do-at-home/ Backpacking is cutting travel costs, but not cutting the exciting elements of adventure. Travel in style; to distinctive places and to have fun doing so!

Mandarin is definitely something you need to keep up with to actually learn. I think the hardest part is talking to strangers for me. I'm more shy at home I think. I’m glad this helped!

I just got back from Bonaire last night and the article was perfectly timed. I am very guilty of the new foods on the road but not at home- tried bitterballen in Bonaire, but likely wouldn't have done it at home.  Also, my husband and I were looking through local Mandarin classes to prepare for a trip in June... thanks for the extra push! Which piece of your advice do you have the most trouble with? Michael- Thank you for reposting this on Twitter! I just got back from Bonaire last night and the article was perfectly timed.

Especially #1 and #4. It's so easy to fall back into a slump when you're back in the "real world". It's important to maintain the care free attitude you have while travelling. Love this! I'm going to save this post for a faraway day when i return to the real world :) This is completely true! Especially #1 and #4.

It's hard to learn this if you're in a 9-5 routine in a cubicle. Traveling is the best way to explore and experience other culture. Gives us an opportunity to reinvent and better ourselves as human beings I think #4 is a huge advise, we get to re-evaluate ourselves and think about the things that used to get us annoyed and stressed for nothing and the people we hurt in the past for no purpose.

I like the dealing with the unexpected point. It is funny how relaxed we can be about things when traveling, but if something goes wrong at home we get all bent out of shape. Keep the mood of going with the flow at home as well and I am sure that life will be more relaxing. Excellent advice. I like the dealing with the unexpected point.
