What is a Backpacker’s Mentality?
Backpackers: An independent traveller who values exploration, simplicity, and adaptability.
These are the 4 elements of a backpacking mentality: Adventure, Minimalism, Budget-consciousness, and Independence.
From trekking through mountains, wild camping & hiking, budget solo travel, road trips, and hostelling trips… there are so many styles of backpacking! I’ve met many like-minded people on my travels who embrace this lifestyle that values experiences, learning about culture, connecting to nature and personally growing through traveling. Are you like-minded?
