The Basics: Who, When, Where, and Why Before opening up a backpacking Europe guide and writing down all the names of hostels and train fares, sit down and reflect on what the purpose of your trip is.

If you are traveling with someone, realize that you are going to be with that person hours on end so you need to make sure you have similar interests in terms of travel. For example, some travelers may want to party all night while others want to spend the entire day museum-hopping and getting their much-needed rest at night.
