The reason that i am setting up this blog is to share my experience and to encourage more people, especially Singaporean to travel on a backpack.
There seems to be always a need to have more money but wealth is not measured entirely by what you owned or consume. There seems to be always a misconception that we need alot of money to travel, or probably we are just afraid to venture out of this tiny island, thinking that we can't afford the time and perhaps how the society will look at us for disappearing. Guess, it's the constant fear that we have about how we will be viewed and how we are going to blend back into the society that prevents many of us from travelling for long period of time. I, too have the same fear and procrastinations before i finally took the courage and plunge into a world of wonder in june 2007. I didn't do it alone, i had the support of my girlfriend and we embarked together on a 8 months trip across Western Europe and Asia, covering 15 countries and more than 50 cities.
