You know you're a back packer when you.......
- Have been the smelly person on public transport.
- Have grown a beard and think it's totally acceptable
- Will take the bus for 24 hours if it means saving some money
- Know how to pack light and what benefits it will hold later. No paying for checked baggage, no dragging luggage up six flights of stairs.
- Have lived on nothing but bread for multiple days and don't think there is anything wrong with this diet.
- Are not scared of situations when your probably should be. Over night train through eastern Europe alone - not a problem
- Have lost a pair of shoes
- Have walked 2 km in the rain to avoid paying for public transport
- Have had someone cut your hair (or cut it yourself) with shoddy kitchen scissors
- Know things aren't shaped by what you saw or did, but how you felt and the experience as a collective
- Have travelled with someone and became subsequent best friends for a week
- Have had a great night out with people you met less than 24 hours ago
- Have ran for a bus/plane/train with a large back pack
- Have got so drunk you don't know how you made it back to your hostel
- Have gone multiple days without a shower. Twice a week is enough.
- Have heard someone or been the person to have sex in a dorm with other people in it
- Have pilfered food from a free breakfast. (If you paid for breakfast you are allowed to pocket exactly double what you would have eaten for consumption at a later time.)
- Have worn clothes that were in the lost and found.
- Have missed a flight/plan/train
- Have attempted hitch hiking
- Guess people's nationality based on their luggage
- Only know what day it is if you have a flight
- Can scout out free WiFi in the most obscure places
- Know no permanent address
- Have owned and worn a pair of fisherman pants
- Have a strict budget, except when it comes to alcohol
- Know anything can be used as a towel
- Scarves are magic. (towel, sarong, headscarf, cover up, etc.)
