In today’s age of budget airlines and cheap flights, travelling out of your own city has been made that much easier. It seems almost a rite of age to pack a bag and travel around the world with nothing but a week’s change of clothes in your bag. Backpacking has become more than the ‘gap year’ bid for freedom, backpacking is a way of life for many Australians.

For the first-timers, backpacking is somewhat more complicated than people make it out to be. You do need prepare beforehand, do your research, work out where you’ll go, and where you’ll stay. You’ll find plenty of backpackers in every capital city in Australia, but there are backpackers and hostels you wouldn’t want to set your foot in, and hostels that will make you forget that you’re ‘roughing it’.
