If you are thinking of going for a week-long backpack journey, then you might want to consider a few things while planning your trip. There are many things to consider when you are going backpacking, such as where, when, what season, and where you will lay your head down at night. Here is how you can plan a week-long backpack trip effectively and make sure you get to see what you want to see.
Begin your planning by choosing your destinations. Make sure they are all close enough for you to bounce from one place to the next. Europe would be a good choice for this type of week-long journey.
Decide what hotels you will stay at. Most likely you will want to stay at hostels if you are backpacking across countries. Then you can meet other backpackers and make new friends.
Plan the journey. Figure out if you will start by train, bus or plane. Look for budget flights or compare flights on websites such as Kayak or Priceline.
Determine who you want to backpack with. Maybe you want to go alone or with a friend. Sometimes certain people don't travel well together so figure out who is the best person to bring along on your week-long backpacking trip.
Choose what attractions you want to see. Do some research on the Internet and write down all the attractions you want to see in each place you are going to be backpacking through.
