    It’s usually also kids born in a privileged middle class family who do this shit. Because they know there is a safety net back at home who will buy them a ticket if they want to get home.

      A lower class person couldn’t even dream of having enough money to get that initial ticket to Europe, that shit is expensive

        I’m from a blue collar family and the fact that they’re sitting there with functioning limbs, often among locals without is disgusting beyond belief.

        How can you sit there and ask for help when you are perfectly capable of helping yourself? And how dare you take away from the locals who need the money way more than you can ever imagine?

        Why do they need to go to Europe first to get to Bali? Not every begpacker is American. Most begpackers on Bali are probably Aussies

        Plenty of places you can go begpacking without having to take a single plane… Also not every begpackers need to take a plane to Europe.
