Hey guys smile

I've been thinking about backpacking through asia and australia, so to have a chance to complete this, i need someone with experience in backpacking.
I got tons of questions, and i hope most of em' can be answered by you smile
I dont want to live luxurious or anything, and just live by the day.

1. Does someone got a route, or some ''must-see'' places in asia?

2. Where would you start your destination?

3. What is and realistic budget pr. day ?

4. What have you experienced was the must have items on your tours ?

5. Wich countries and / or should i avoid?

I'm looking forward to your answers smile!

You have posted to a website for wilderness trekking, which is known in the USA as "backpacking". Although you may get a few answers here, you would have better luck in a website dedicated to cheap international travel, such as the Lonely Planet site.

Good luck on your journey. Take a lot of pictures.

Google Lonely Planet Thorn Tree--that's their forum. Lots of material on Asia there.
