Hello, this is Todd for elllo.org and the question today is ... would you like to be a backpacker? Hmm ... no! No thank you. Actually, I did the backpacking thing a little bit when I was younger. I did it in Southeast Asia and I did it in Europe and I never liked it. It's kind of like a job. I mean, you really don't relax very much and it kind of gets boring a little bit. It's the same thing day after day so ... and another thing is that when you go to these guest houses, it doesn't matter if you go to a guesthouse in Greece or Germany or Thailand or Singapore or Hong Kong, it's always the same people. It's always other backpackers and they have the same conversations and they talk about the same things and ... I don't know ... it just wasn't that exciting for me. Some people love it, but it wasn't for me, so now when I travel I would rather save up my money and have a really nice vacation at a resort or in a nice hotel and maybe see one or two cities in a foreign country in maybe a week's period. But that's it. But as for traveling around for months with a backpack, no thank you.
