As Eugene Fodor rightly put it; One doesnt have to be rich to travel well. Travelling is a great way to lose and also find oneself at the same time. Someone once truly said that to travel is to really take a journey within. What better way to travel than to be a part of the local culture, embracing life in a new city like one of its own? Backpacking is a form of budget travel where a tourist travels with nothing but his backpack, courage and lots of charm!

There are a number of countries that have special visas for backpackers that allow them to earn while they travel. JoGuru lists some of the best backpacking destinations around the world.

1.Mexico

Mexico is a backpackers paradise. A real bang for the buck and an absolute treat for solo travellers, Mexico becomes a friend the minute one steps foot on it. Its extremely safe and offers plenty of opportunities for all kinds of travellers it has a diverse cultural heritage, breathtaking natural beauty and lots of mystical towns to explore. The food is well renowned and the infamous Mexican chilli casts an intoxicating spell on the most seasoned gourmand. Wash all this down with a refreshing aguas frescas and finish up with the rich arroz con leche, one will find heaven on earth!

2.Portugal

Perhaps the best bet for a backpacker in Europe, Portugal is every bit as charming and captivating as its more glamorous and expensive sisters, Spain and Italy. Its location also makes it a good entry point to the rest of Europe. All good things in Portugal are, like they say about life...free! Most of the best sights in Porto are free of charge and Lisbon has an interesting variety of hostels for a budget traveller. Besides, most of what Portugal has to offer is hiding in plain sight; its old world, laid back elegance, the romance of the hill-side retreat Sintra, the jazz filled streets of the upper city in Lisbon. Portugal is exotic yet warm, overwhelming yet homely.

3.Indonesia

Its easy to forget that one is on a shoe string budget in Indonesia. Extremely cheap and multifarious, Indonesia offers so much more bounce for the ounce! Imagine a country that is made of 17000 islands, all which have different topographies and natural wonders! Indonesia is so much more than lying on the pristine beaches of Bali. A surfers paradise and a gypsys haven, this country is a small wonder in itself. Although transportation could get a little tricky here, the food and sleep options will more than make up for the discomfort.
