How has backpacking evolved over the past decade, and is it still a budget-friendly option for travelers?

Backpacking is when you travel with a backpack and usually stay in hostels or campgrounds to save money. Over the last ten years, backpacking has become more popular and also more comfortable. There are now more options for budget-friendly accommodation such as "glamping" (glamorous camping) and "pod" hostels.

Technology has also changed the way people backpack. Many travelers now use apps and websites to find cheap flights and accommodation. Social media has also made it easier to connect with other backpackers and get travel tips.

However, backpacking is not always the most budget-friendly option. Prices for hostels and other accommodation have risen in some places, and the cost of food and activities can also add up. It's important to do research and plan ahead to make sure you stick to your budget.

Overall, backpacking is still a great option for budget-conscious travelers. With some planning and research, you can have a fantastic adventure without breaking the bank!
