Backpacking Me.

I can't wait to travel 'round the country and in Asiaaaa.

When i'll have my work,i'll travel the world.whooooo!

So, why backpack?

I made up 5 to start with..

1) You improve on your street smarts.
(+): I won't get lost.(You would but you'd find a way..eventually) ;)

2) You tend to be more tolerant of the variety of people in this world.
(and be non-discriminating, that is)
(+): And be more understanding in dealing with people

3) You expose yourself from hiding from ya fears(that includes getting the courage to do things).
(+): The power to do things on your own! HOOZAH!
--For me this is quite easy since I am used to doing things alone
(I take pleasure in it).:D

4) You learn from life. It's like a crash course on life (you manage your money, improve on your problem solving skills on deciding where to go and what to do).
(+): *overjoyed*

5) Experience + Memory + Living The Dream
(+): It's an adventure of a lifetime: backpacking.

Pre-backpacking I am learning many things:
-saving yo money
-gumawa ng raket para kumita
-organizing (set ang date sa target kong amount!)


So far, i've experienced (somehow) the benefits of backpacking i typed above.

1) Whenever i am staying in a place for at least a week, i do rounds exploring the place.I noticed i tend to memorize landmarks more easily than others,hehe.

2) Pointing at people or giving them horrific stares like they are some kind of aliens equate to ignorance.

3) I managed to do more and learn more than relying with other people that will end up in a dilemma of you-first-no-you-first.

4) Responsibility of your existence (I disgust of people I know who rely on their parents even after graduating in college).

5) A greater knowledge is always an advantage.:-)

NOTE: Can't wait to go backpacking with Billy & Ayel to Sagada & Baguio in January.weeeeeeeeeee. kailangan ko muna kumita ng pera sa raket ko.wee.:)
