Although I maintain that a persistent travel itch is a symptom of dissatisfaction in day-to-day life which should be addressed, I backpacked Europe and the Middle East the summer after university. I was an incredibly enriching experience and one of those things people should do if they can afford it. I plan on doing Cape Town to Cairo in a few years.

- grecy 4y agoCape to Cairo is incredible, though if you want to actually get off the beaten path, I recommend West Africa top to bottom. I went places where locals had never seen white people, where it honestly felt like I'd back in time 50 years and where people are just genuinely joyous from the bottom of their hearts, even while living in mud huts. It's an incredible part of the world, and also one of the most difficult to travel (visas, corruption, malaria, etc.) Here's a playlist of what it looked like from ground level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waQGUz0Z97Y&list=PLNiCe5roBX1gG0CUhHCsad_hv2qZbGzXc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waQGUz0Z97Y&list=PLNiCe5roBX...
