Are You An Urban Backpacker?

Breakin’ rip This is by no means a new thing to hit the scenes, but I have been reading a lot of posts, articles, and tweets about it lately. Urban backpacking is a type of traveling focusing on flexibility and low cost. Urban backpacking consists of backpacking around different cities, towns, or countries. This is accomplished by using a variety of different methods of travel including trains, busses, and hitchhiking. Urban backpackers then usually stay at hostels or low cost hotels while in an area seeing the city.
Over the next couple weeks, I am going to share some different tips for urban backpacking about what to pack, things to do, ways to travel, and finding places to stay. I know I usually focus on wilderness backpacking, and I will continue to do so, but I thought this would be a great route to take the posting for a couple times.
What do you think?
Are you an urban backpacker? If so, leave some comments about your experiences, links to your blogs or pictures, and the types of articles that you’d like to read. I’ll try to post about all topics suggested!
