Interesting Read for Backpackers

Today I was browsing through my RSS feeds and came across a few that haven't been updated in a while. One that I frequently read while I was in the military (counting down the days) was "Where are you, eric liu?", he hadn't updated his site since mid 2006 so I decided to fire him a comment and see how he is doing. For the record, his site was one that helped inspire my whole adventure.

As most people who have been away for quite some time know, adjusting to the normal life again takes some time and he mentioned an interesting study that was published regarding the packpackers culture by Christina Anderskov.

It's a look at backpackers and what they are all about in one of the very few somewhat scientific studies you can find on the subject. I have browsed roughly half of the webpage and find it extremely informative and interesting.
