YOUR SELF HELP GUIDE & BACKPACKING TOP TIPS!

Relax and be patient. Unless you’re hungry.

Coils are the best way of killing mosquitos. But a fly swat is more satisfying.

Don’t take life too seriously. But respect the people that do.

Don’t be afraid to accept someone as superior to you, learning is easier that way. Just don’t sell yourself short, learning is and always will be a two way street.

Smiling is a wonderful method of communication. Apart from when you’re looking at the back of a taxi drivers head.

Life is possible without Google! But far less informative.

Squat toilets are actually pretty cool. Seriously, they are.

Don’t panic. Well you can, just don’t show it.

Learn all the games you can. Life is a game. Play it.

Don’t haggle for something if you don’t know its true value! I have lost a lot of money this way. Millionaires need not heed this advice.

Always book the sleeper. Never the hard seat. ALWAYS. ALWAYS!

Try everything once. Except heroin, and murder. Don’t do that. Seriously, Don’t.

Get lost. But not TOO lost.

Take a Camera. But not an expensive one.

Always lock your door. But make sure you have keys.

Don’t judge a restaurant by its cover. Judge it by the waiter.

Live life on the edge. Then do a backflip

YOU GOT THIS!
