So, I've created a website for you containing backpacking tips, basically things you should know about to keep you safe and happy!
I originally started this site to help budget backpackers, but in 2011 I extended the backpacking tips to 'luxury backpackers', also known as flashpackers.

I don't write about anything I don't think it's worth writing about.
I don't sugar-coat the reviews, and if I like/dislike something -- you will notice it!
I've tried my best to focus on backpacker places, and not
110% tourist places like Phuket or Pattaya in Thailand.
But I have written about touristy places like Siem Reap in Cambodia, and Chiang Mai in Thailand, but that's because these are still places you have to visit!

Many of my readers have appreciated this site's value, it makes me really happy! :-)

Lucas, Argentina: "Thank you very much Amanda!! You have been extremelly helpful and your web page is like a Backpacker's Bible!!"

Chelsea, UK: "Hi Amanda, Wow and thanks. I have just read the first page of your site and already I have a huge smile and have the confidence and excitement to confirm that the decision to take a years sabbatical leave from work next year, was definitely the best decision of my life so far. I can't wait to read the rest of your site - thank you so much for putting together, such a well-organised and easy to use site - much love x"
When it comes to the real world, I've taken the liberty to comment on taboo issues like prostitution, genocide etc.
That's because I think it's important to talk about these things, and because the real goal of a backpacker is not to only experience the good stuff, but try to understand why these kind of bad things happen.
To make the best of your adventures in Asia, try to understand the reality in Asia's dark history.
It will change you in ways you've never felt before...
And I'm going to show you how beautiful and exciting Asia is.
... Not to mention, cheap and comfortable.
You'll be reading about my favorite places like Luang Prabang Laos, Chang Mai Thailand, Ko Phi Phi, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and much more!
On the other hand, when you're backpacking in Asia you have to expect to face both small and big challenges, from practical to almost dangerous situations.
And believe me, I messed up a lot of times... But I learned from my mistakes. I've experienced most of the common backpacking problems/dangers: anything from packing too much to moped accidents...!
So, be prepared, use common sense and follow your gut feeling!

Happy reading,
Amanda
