Backpacking on the cheap is one of the best ways to see the world without a doubt.
You can stretch your dollars further and travel for much longer by traveling how the locals travel, eating where the locals eat, and staying in quirky little hostels all across the globe.
It's a great way to see the world, and I wouldn't trade it for a day back at my desk for anything.
But if we're going to be honest, the life of a long-term budget traveler isn't always glamorous.
Tiptoeing into the hostel dorm at night and then trying to sleep while your bunkmate's snoring shakes the bed.
After a bit of time on the road, I always feel it's important to treat myself and splurge on a fancy meal and a night or two in a beautiful place where I can relax and enjoy having my own space for a change of pace.
If you're on the road this Holiday season, maybe you should take time to spoil yourself a little and take a break from the backpacker lifestyle. You'll thank me later.

More often than not, our culture celebrates the move toward bigger and more ostentatious.
