Nothing's better than welcoming 2014 in a foreign place. A traveler is welcomed with incomparable diversity, fresh faces and possible even a new beginning to start the New Year right.
Backpacking one's way to a new place is a true escape from wherever one comes from. Let Travelers Today guide you through some of the best backpacking destinations to escape to in 2014.
1. Greek Islands
For starters, the beer and food are surprisingly cheap in the Greek Islands. Second, the Mediterranean and the Aegean is in full view and it's nothing short of perfect.
Backpackers can enjoy the diversity of this side of the world since it offers just about everything. From the more quiet side of Rhodes to the trendier Mykonos, it's one place travelers won't cause a serious burn in their pockets in.
Side note: It's a plus if you come in groups since accommodations become a lot cheaper as well.
2. Galicia, Spain
If backpackers are on the lookout for the true escape and be reunited with nature, far from the deafening noise of the city and the stifling crowds of typical tourist spots, then Galicia is the best place to get lost in.
Showered in the greenest pastures the world has ever seen, "the country of a thousand rivers" is adorned with the densest forests. Once travelers have basked in Mother Nature's flawless beauty (and the freshest of air), they can move to the adjoining cities adorned with the most ancient castles, ruins as well as the tastiest tapas and pristine beaches.
3. Scandinavia
From cycling around Helsinki to touring the unique markets of Copenhagen all the way to tanning in the beaches of Denmark, Scandinavia will surely satisfy any globetrotter who wants to collect unmatched experiences to bring back home
The best part of it is Scandinavians are exceptionally friendly and hospitable. Whether backpackers are on a pub tour in Iceland or spending some urban time in Sweden, they're in for an unforgettable treat.
