What do you think when you hear the word “backpacking”?<\/p>\n

“What’s fun about travelling abroad alone?”
\n“The Middle East, Africa… those places seem dangerous.”
\n“I’m interested in backpacking but don\u2019t know how to do it or where to start….”<\/p>\n

At this event, the members of the Waseda official circle “Waseda World Travel Club” will talk about what a backpacker is and answer your questions about backpacking!<\/p>\n

The circle members include:
\n– A girl who just came back from a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway!
\n– A boy who explored the deep Amazon jungle!
\n– A boy who completed a tour of the Silk Road using only buses and trains!<\/p>\n

The members will talk about their own backpacking adventures and you can ask them any questions that you might have during cafe time.
\nLet’s talk about our travel experiences together!<\/p>\n

World travel, travelling solo, backpacking, international communication, Waseda student’s adventures…
\nIf you are interested in any of these then come to the ICC Lounge!<\/p>\n

The first 100 people will receive a mini-daypack pouch from the popular backpack brand Gregory!
\nThere will also be a quiz where the winners may receive a special prize.<\/p>\n

After joining this event, you too might feel compelled to travel abroad!<\/p>\n

Guest: Waseda World Travel Study Club<\/h5>\n

Founded in 1959, Waseda University’s official “solo travel” circle is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
\nTheir flagship activities are the “Homecoming Report” where they talk about their solo travel experiences, and a one-week “summer camp” where students attempt to travel together on foot without using their mobile phone or any money.
\nAlso, for their yearly “Waseda World Travel Study Club Cooking Event” the students are divided into groups and make foods from different regions.
\nThe members share their travel memories and future plans as well as tips on how to enjoy the backpacker life.<\/p>\n
