Backpack the World!

For anyone who wants to hit the road to a foreign country on a shoestring budget, I’m happy to share my experiences with you (and a few things for your Do Not Try list).

- Planning and purchasing
- Budget travel tips and tricks
- Go solo or bring a friend?
- Where to go, how long to stay?
- What to do when you don’t want to come home!

We can also talk about ‘career breaks’ and ‘gap year’ type longer-term travel. It can be a scary prospect, but it’s also the ultimate freedom.

Experienced travelers join us too! Share your insights and inspiration, and bring some photos!

**UPDATE: Rescheduled for Tuesday, September 8 at same time. If you can make it, please add a comment.

Teacher's Notes

I’ve gone on hiatus from my life twice now – once to backpack Europe and once to backpack Thailand/Cambodia/Laos, both on a shoestring. Amazing life experiences that I cannot recommend strongly enough! I’ve also done the Inca Trail and multitude of short solo trips.

I’ve come back to “real” life and regular jobs, so there is life after the road.

Shannon – The date change doesn’t jive with my schedule unfortunately. Sorry I am so last minute to respond. Will you be doing another (un)class again on the same subject? Or at least posting lecture notes ;-)

Oh I was so excited when I found this today… unfortunately I can’t make it tonight.
I am super interested, so if you all do decide to meet again, I’m there!

Ellen, I’m sorry! The class was postponed at the suggestion of Rahmin (Unlass founder), after I posted the location and no one confirmed attendance. I have rescheduled for Tuesday, September 8, same time and location. I hoe you can make it!
