Great article and so very true. It is easy to pick the seasoned backpacker, he or she is the one that looks like they are carrying their life on their back and always looks a little weary. However, do not be fooled, as these people have met and are the very essence of what traveling is. They generally know how to negotiate, meet and greet without providing too much information and they also know how to have loads of fun. I know I have been one!

As I mentioned elsewhere, Dave, I’ve got a stack of lesson plans for teaching ESL/TEFL that you’ll likely find useful. They’re a few years old, and Korea-centric, but there’s a wealth of stuff you’ll be able to mine from them when it comes time to teach. Look forward to seeing you back in TO!

How true that is as when I was confronted with a 6 week delay going to Oz, forgot to factor in the rainy season in my itinerary, I looked at alternatives & am now in Bangkok taking a TEFL course as a constructive way to fill the time.

As a backpacker we should keep it in our mind that things rarely present themselves in black or white.Thanks for the awareness more power to you !

Re: lack of information. I try to ask as many locals as possible, then average the answers. Sometimes it actually works
