Travel Rules for Backpackers. Follow these philosophies in travel and life; they will never do you wrong.  This I promise with all my heart, cross my fingers and hope to die.

17 Travel Rules for Backpackers:

Travel Rule #1 – Dance like no one is watching

Travel Rule #2 – Love like you have never been hurt.  Love, Love someone, love something, love everything.

Travel Rule #3 – Spend like you didn’t earn the money; don’t take life too seriously: No one gets out alive, anyways.

Travel Rule #4 – Throw caution to the wind in pursuit of pleasure, because if it hurts, then it’s probably worth it.

Travel Rule #5 – Fear nothing, never quit, never give up, never surrender, and always speak your mind even when your voice trembles.  A life lived in fear is a life half lived; because man should never fear death but man should fear never having lived.

Travel Rule #6 – Nothing happens by chance, so don’t chance anything; make it happen now.  Don’t wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.

Travel Rule #7 – Circumstance don’t make a hero, they just reveal him.    Man is not the creature of circumstances,
circumstances are the creatures of men.

Travel Rule #8 – The sky isn’t the limit, so shoot for the stars: Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Travel Rule #9 – Never refuse an invitation: Never over stay your welcome.  The only moment you can live in is right now, there is no past or future; only this moment. So live this moment to the fullest.

Travel Rule #10 – Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find “tomorrow” on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday’s defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have.

Travel Rule #11 – Unhappiness and hate waste time better spent living

Travel Rule #12 – Laugh at yourself, life, and everything around you. Laugh as a remedy and a miracle drug that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective seemingly terrible defeats and worries in life.

Travel Rule #13 – It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. Remember that you have only one life to live so make the best of it. Be whoever and whatever you’d like to be. Pursue your passions and your dreams. Don’t waste time suffering.  It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.

Travel Rule #14 – Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.

Travel Rule #15 – Just because you said it while drunk / stoned / tripping doesn’t make it profound

Travel Rule #16 – Never be afraid to cry or tell someone you love them.   Never take laxatives and sleeping pills together

Travel Rule #17 – Always lie to cops
