I need some Travel Tips
Posted by Ok_Dragonfruit2523@reddit | Shoestring | View on Reddit | 3 comments
I am a young man living in Turkey and I want to be a traveler and I am striving for it. And right now I really need some information. What I am most curious about is how I can make money while traveling. Or how can I make transportation inexpensive?
I am also curious about equipment, bags and shoes. What kind of bag should I prefer, big and with capacity or more average and useful? I need help with the brand. As for shoes, I've read a few articles, and generally people say they prefer Brooks and Hoka shoes. But extra advice wouldn't be bad.
Finally, I plan to stay in a tent in general. Do you have any suggestions for light and big tents?
Thank you everyone in advance!

The pack that you carry should be smaller than you think is necessary. The smaller, the better. Less is more! Not knowing your budget, I can only point you in the right direction. If you're on a tight budget, check out the Quechua packs at Decathalon. If you can afford more, the Osprey packs seem to be currently very popular amongst the Backpacker set. Personally, I swear by Eagle Creek. Just make sure that, whatever pack you choose is a *panel loader* and not a *top loader*.
The footwear that you choose should be more than just tennis/basketball/lightweight shoes. Personally, I always travel in Merrell Moabs, but any similar shoe will be fine. For clothing, practice the *layering method*.
Just make sure that you load up your pack with rocks and walk 10 km in your new shoes to give you an idea what it is going to be like. And if anyone gives you any trouble, eat them.

I will visit about 15 cities and I will use a tent to reduce the cost in the places I go. There will be cities that are usually by the sea. I will do more road walks so it should be a comfortable shoe. I will also start this trip at the end of spring and it will last until the beginning of winter. I guess I can’t think of anything else but I’ll be happy to answer if you ask.
