If I travel somewhere in which has more nature, I will meet little problems.
That is Transportation and lodge as a backpacker.
Main rail routes can't reach upto mountain, lakes. But there is always way to solve that problem.
I will introduce some good news on this page for backpackers.
Also there is a cheaper way to travel in the world without spent expensive hotel fee.
That is so called International Home Exchange which has been running on Europe more than 50 years .
We can make a friend with foreign country family by the IHE.
You can stay their home without paying during your family vacation and than they come to your house as a vacation.
This is a kind of give & take .Isn't it great idea?
If I get the other new types of travel information, I will add up as soon as possible on this page.
For the nature lover backpackers
Here is good news for nature lover travellers. You don't have to worry about transportation & bed.
I will just focus on very limited country on Europe at this moment.
Those countries are: Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland & Iceland
And some packages of tour operators are almost perfect for backpackers.
After I get more information for other countries, I will add up in short period.

and door to door service at Youth Hostel in scotland.
