Roadhouse Hostels-Photofie Photography Contest

Backpacking is far more than a way of traveling. It’s a way of experiencing and discovering the world. It is, to all intents and purposes, a way of life.

Backpacking doesn’t teach you independence – it hones your independence and makes you more self-sufficient.

It teaches you to survive in an occasionally tough, but always alien environment. And once you’ve figured out how to survive in this strange world, then you can embrace its differences and enjoy its diversity.

The backpacker knows that the only way to find out about the world is to explore it. Whether you’re talking about smoking with sadhus at the ghats of Banaras, or sunbathing on the beaches of Goa, the principle is the same:

Frontiers are there to be crossed, wildernesses to be discovered.

We, the team of Roadhouse Hostels along with Photofie came together to celebrate the spirit of “Backpacking”.

We have come up with this theme to help you discover the backpacker in you.
