Travelling as a Backpacker – a New Experience

Travel story -- first backpacking experience:

So, I chose to travel independently as a Backpacker. Initially, I was a bit sceptical though, because travelling alone as a Backpacker can sometimes be fraught with some danger, for I had read earlier on my son`s website that he was attacked and robbed twice during his backpacking expeditions...

The next task for me was to pick up the country where I wanted to go, and while surfing on the Internet, luckily, I came across the cheap return airfares that were being offered by Air New Zealand to fly from Sydney to Auckland, almost half the normal fare, so straightaway, I jumped in and booked my flights for a 8 days trip...

In conclusion, it was a different experience for me than my previous travelling ventures, and by the way, travelling as a Backpacker, I saved a lot of money as well.
