But from what i hear theres a good chance ill probably end up travelling with other people that iv met along the way anyway.
Did you find yourself travelling with other backpackers?

On occassion I travelled with other backpackers.
But it mostly happened by chance. Most of the time you'd become friends with people in your dorm/lodge/hostel... do things with them... part seperate ways and then meet new people when you get to a new location.
I think if you were to take a planned tour though then you'd definitely travel with the same group of people over a long distance.
I winged it because I had friends in some of the areas I went (Montreal, Goteborg and I met with some colleagues in NYC) so didn't mind so much that I didn't have regular buddies along the way.
