Journeys

Solo backpacker

One person, one bag, grams and a budget you can still spend on the ticket.

What this traveler watches for

A lighter carry and a kit that does not eat the fare.

Empty weight on the walk between buses and hostels

Paying twice for a cube or bottle you could skip

A bag that looks carry-on on the site and oversized at the gate
