[Tourism Department] Traveling as a backpacker

There are many ways to travel abroad.

Package tours planned and solicited by travel agencies are the easiest, but they are less time-consuming and offer less freedom.On the other hand, individual travel is completely free, but you have to think about choosing a destination, arranging visas, passports, hotels, and securing means of transportation on your own. All risks must be taken at your own risk.Among those individual trips, the style of travel called a backpacker, commonly known as a packer, is to walk around with a rucksack on your back.

Backpackers often travel and walk for long periods of time, from weeks to months, and generally end up traveling on a budget without spending a lot of money.Some people quit their jobs and use the money they have saved to travel every few years.In my case, I've been doing it for 3 years.In the meantime, I pulled out my resident card so that I wouldn't have to pay resident tax,TouristSo, in short, it is "unemployed with no fixed address".If you don't have any qualifications or skills when you return, it will be quite difficult to reintegrate into society.
