Make a list of the countries, states, provinces or counties you plan on seeing. Go online and print out the laws and customs for these areas. My son got a pretty steep parking ticket when he parked in an area that had a sign saying “No Standing.” Now he is well aware that in that city that means “No Parking.”
Have your papers in order. Make sure you have everything you need to travel overseas and get into the destination country. You should check with both countries to ensure all of your paperwork is in order.
Purchase a new map of the region you will be traveling to. You may want to shop or stay somewhere special and discover that it is no longer there.
Similar to when you backpack in the wilderness at home you need to leave a detailed itinerary of where you will be on a particular date. An emergency could arise at home which would require that you be notified.
Have back up plan. You can’t just go back home very easy if your plans get messed up by weather or some other unexpected event. Be sure you have an alternative plan in place so your trip is not ruined.
You should try to leave valuables at home. You should hire a local tour guide and always travel in a group or with at least one other person.
Stay on public roadways and do not wander into locations that may be restricted. The locals may be allowed to shoot first and ask questions later.
Travel smart and your backpacking trip will most likely be one of the most amazing experiences you will ever have.
