Backpacking refers to the recreational activity of carrying gear on one’s back. Usually, this is done while hiking in the mountains. However, the practice of putting on a backpack only as you traverse different locations is now a common kind method of traveling around different countries.
Insider’s Joey Hadden has noticed that backpacking has been portrayed nicely on different social media platforms. From men and women photogenically posing with their backpacks in different picturesque sceneries, Hadden only realized what it’s really like going around with only a backpack compared to the heavily romanticized activity.
Hadden started to backpack around August 2022, when she decided to make minimalist travel style her priority. During her short trip to Eastern Canada, she thought that it was actually easier and more efficient. Because of her trip’s success in the area, she decided to plan a two-week train trip through four European countries with only her backpack with her.
The travel reporter backpacked across Germany, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland while exploring the cities of Berlin, Vienna, Venice, Rome, Milan, and Zürich. While sleeping through sleeper trains, shared train cabins, and budget Airbnbs, she noted down a few things that these travel influencers never share on social media.
One of the things she noticed was that her backpack couldn’t squeeze in all the clothes she wanted to bring. This means that she can only bring a few items, so she had to do laundry at every accommodation. “This was a bummer since I often arrived at each accommodation feeling exhausted from travel, and washing my clothes was the last thing I felt like doing,” she remarked.

You should be ashamed.
Now, let's try to imagine how many people in the world are freshly affected by deadly car accidents at any given time. 1 million? 2? Does that mean there's even greater impetus to never post anything related to car crashes, or even cars? Of course not.
Let's keep things in perspective here. Lots of different subjects may be unpleasant for lots of people. Most of the time, most people may shudder a little and move on (like I do with any insect-related posts on Neatorama), particularly when there is no media hype surrounding their particular grievance.
Liked the twist at the end too.
I agree that we can't simply put on the blinkers when it comes to tragedies, but poor timing is just rubbing salt in the wound.
Otherwise, the film itself was okay - not exactly an oscar-winner and a little predictable, but the production values were excellent.
Walking on eggshells isn't at all necessary, but given what's happened, I think people are bound to feel some grief when seeing things that remind them of the tragedy. I'm also sorry if I came off harsh. As long as people have reverence for the seriousness of what happened and what most likely will happen in the future, I've got no qualms with films like this, other than personal taste.
I was mostly addressing what I thought of the film. Well made, but awkward and predictable writing, in my opinion. John has every right to post a video like this at any point in time, just like how I have the right to express opinion.
That's all.
"That makes about 1,600 people who can legitimately claim that this post made them feel bad."
I'd forgotten that there were so few people with empathy and compassion in this world. Thank you for reminding me that we're only allowed to feel something if it directly affects us.
And if you think your feelings for strangers somehow entitles you to condemn a perfectly innocent blog post, that's not compassion, that's ego-mania.
You seem like a very sweet and thoughtful person to me.
I give you two thumbs up. :)
Sometimes I skip over a Neatorama post if it looks like something that isn't Neat-to-me. I advise similar strategy.
Thank you kindly.
Wow, go ahead and crucify us for our opinions. But you really should have read my (and Cindy's) other comments before you posted.
The film wasn't offensive - I thought it was a little lame. The timing of posting it was poor.
Saludos
If you avoid a theme for a dead related to this teme in some place of the world you´ll never post anything.
I had to google niu shootings to heard about them.
