1. Make sure that you want to do this trip alone by yourself (Of Course! Do you wanna be a solo backpacker, don't you ?).  LOL :))

2. Make sure that the place you want to visit is quiet safe and has no conflict.

3. Look for the information about the place that you want to visit as much as you can about your destination to make you feel more enjoy in having the trip. You can find it on the Internet or you can ask your friend or family who have did it first.

4. Do a trip at night in order to save the accommodation and in the morning you can travel as much as you want all day.


5. Bring food supplies that could delay the hungry such as bread or chocolate to avoid starvation when there are no sellers of food on the bus or train.

6. Bring extra money in the form of cash as a precaution if you can’t find an ATM. Put the money in a safe place and (if possible) separate it to avoid undesirable things such as theft.

7. Some other important items to bring: clothes, location map, cellphone and charger, camera, toiletries in small sizes, personal medicines, a lot of plastic bags, needles and thread to sew in an emergency.

8. Make sure that the bag you will use is in a good condition.

9. Use comfortable footwear for use in a long time such as mountain sandals or shoes.

10. Ask the price first when eating to avoid a price that “shouted” by the seller.

11. Do not ask people who do not reassure like all brokers, ask at the official station.

Enjoy your trip, dude! :)
