"Backpacker Paradise" What's that!
So below is a cut and past of a post from a few days ago, got almost no traction in the tag of "travel". Seems like people looking there enjoy watching other people vacation at Disney World!
Lifestyle is really what I'm all about. I have one of the most unique on the planet as a perpetual traveler at age 34 with about 10 years experience.
Backpacker Paradise is a place that is so wonderful, so affordable, you come for a week but stay for a month!
After traveling so much I can really break it down into detail. I've created a "Backpacker Paradise Scale" which I'll be using in my "World Travel Pro Report" series. The rating system has seven topics, with scores ranging from 0 to 5.
To be true Backpacker Paradise and earn a top score, it must fit into the descriptions below!
Affordability: The country is so affordable you feel wealthy. You can ignore your budget and still stay within your budget. My standard budget is based on twenty dollars a day.
Food: The food is safe to eat, affordable, healthy, and delicious.
Culture: Must be interesting, friendly, safe, and non-aggressive.
Activities: Must have plenty of interesting things to see and do that won't empty your pockets, good backpacker company to socialize with, and nice weather.
Hotel Value: You get a comfortable place to stay at a great price, and you don't have to try hard to find a good deal.
Safety: It's safe! Morning, day, and night. Low rate of tourist related scams.
Transportation: The country has good infrastructure, safe, speedy, and affordable transportation. To be Backpacker Paradise is not so common. There are several countries on this planet that fit the bill. As a world traveler, I'm constantly in search of the next Backpacker Paradise.
Keep a look out for my travel reports to see how much paradise I've found! Don't forget to follow, up-vote, and re-steem! Thank you!

I have been Perpetual Traveller for 7 years and I have become expert at finding these things you seek, and I will spend all my days scoping for the prettiest places on earth... i LOVE YOUR LIST of requirements - especially "the country is so affordable you feel wealthy", and "you can ignore your budget and still stay within your budget... Mexico, Central and lots of Sth America fall into that, I haven;'t even really started on Africa or Asia.. . . so inspiring THANKS @world-travel-pro
Thank you so much. Your comments are inspiring and highly encouraging to me! THANK YOU!
So you've been traveling for 7 years, yet have not been to the backpacker mecca of South East Asia. It's my favorite, hands down. I certainly hope you get to experience this gem of a travel haven. I love it so much I've booked another trip to Bangkok leaving in August. Haven't been there in almost 5 years! I miss it! SO MUCH!
You can see my travel plans for the rest of the year here.

Frankly, Latin America really can't compare, but that's just my opinion. Even though I've thoroughly enjoyed this part of the world.
In fact I have my first "World Travel Pro Report: Ecuador" Set for release Sunday. It will be somewhat detailed covering all the paradise criteria and more! Would be interesting to see if you agree. I'm sure you are familiar with the country.
Thanks again for your kind words and comments! -World Travel Pro
hey I live on Isla Mujeres about 1 hr from Playa... if you havent been here you should come visit, it is a magical little place
Sounds good. I'll be in in that area in about two weeks, so I'll let you know when, if you'd like to meet up. I just watched some of you seminar video. Good for you! Takes guts to get in front of an audience like that. Very nice!
Hope Lake Atitlan fulfills your criteria for your next Backpacker Paradise, excited to see your posts about it! Happy travels!
Hey there! You've done it! You've blasted me off to steemit success land. Seriously you really have made a huge difference for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My new intro, with your advice and tag advice, has now brought in almost 30 dollars and boosted my ratings/ followings... I even just threw a post up last night about clothes shopping in Nicaragua. I woke up this morning. 7 dollars and counting. Wow what a difference from 7 cents!
I'm really excited as I always wanted to be an independent travel writer. Now looks like I have a paying job doing so. So thank you once again! I'm actually in my layover in San Jose, Costa Rica, on STEEMIT! Checking in! I enjoy this! What more can I ask for!
Regarding Lake Atitlan, I think it will fit the paradise bill quite nicely. I'll surely let everyone know.
I've got my first "World Travel Pro Report: Ecuador" set to come out Sunday. It will be fairly detailed covering all the paradise bases. I'm sure you will enjoy. So thank you once again for your support.
I'm going to keep tagging myself in "lifestyle" seems I get much more interest there. Have a great day!
I'm happy you're finally getting the rewards you deserve, I've noticed the upturn, and darn, you've passed me in ratings, haha! Keep riding the wave.
It's nice how much you show appreciation for the little help I've been able to give, but please don't thank me again, it was my pleasure. Enjoy!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! ha ha ha. Ready for our Hunny moon to Zimbabwe? lol But seriously I was getting discouraged and fast. The few tips you gave me turned things around.
Haha!
Yes, seriously, I'm really happy about that; sometimes potential just leaps off the page...this time next year you'll be a beluga.
Hey there darling. Looks like I'm "blowing up" on here. As the kiddies say. Not to kiss you b-tut, you know you've been a wave of encouragement for me.
Here is a link to my promised article. If you feel it's something your followers would like, please don't hesitate to resteem! Muchos Gracias! From Guatamala.
Oh... by the way. Yes this lake Atitlan is a backpacker paridise for sure. Where else on the planet can you buy a lb of macademia nut for $4.50. I'm feeling quite wealthy here!
Whoa! I read, I saw the response, you are away! ¡Hasta luego!
