Can we give some travel tips for the first-time backpackers?

My top tip is to carry a first-aid kit with you at all times. No matter how full or heavy your backpack already is, you gotta throw in your charcoal pills, bandaids, bandages, Panadols, etc.! Even if you don't get injured, there is no guarantee you'd be able to adapt to the food in the country you are visiting.

Hey @iyudhi as you often travel light and travel everywhere, I thought you might have some tips!

 @WaweruM it's a nice question. I was victim of this. I think you should check your baggage before you leave that you should take your personal needed things like First Aid and of course a bottle of water, the numbers to contact of all persons in written related with your journey in a paper or handbook. You may keep an extra small bag or anything like this so that you may carry your emergency papers etc. Thanks for your question.

Hello to everyone,

I would like to add that the usage of a Hostel, instead of a Hotel or private apartment is a good idea. I would make a good and long research for a good Hostel that suits my needs.

Best regards,

Georges

Hi @WaweruMaweruM @GeorgesHR my suggestion is you should use Couchsurfing platform for free accommodation and food and try to use public transportation to save extra expenses.
