The Son of the Cloud

Solo Backpacking Around World by 77-Year Old Man

I always longed for solo backpacking travel. I was on group tours with my family to Europe, Thailand, and Mexico. I did not remember anything after the group tours. I want to meet the local people and other young backpackers and talk with them. The only way you could achieve this goal was to travel alone. I always tried to stay at a youth hostel where you could meet many young backpackers from all over the world. I met many boys and girls from many countries. I had never seen any solo backpackers of my age or close to my age. Solo backpacking travel was very hard and sometimes dangerous if you were doing it in your old age. I wanted to share what I saw, heard, and experienced during my solo backpacking trip, which I did in my old age. I think any senior citizen could do what I did better with a little courage.
