A fantastic name to really develop. Is a popular subject these days and for time to come. U may fetch high xxx/low x,xxx now, but I'd develop and really go for it.

Its a good solid generic .info with strong dev possibility..I think honestly you paid about max undeveloped but it strikes me as well worth it if you are going to really use it..and you could easily monetize the site and make this back hundred fold in the future..but then again you could do the same with 123backpackers.info..just my wooden nickel..nice one worder..

20% of all travellers are young people, and most of young people are backpackers. The segment of young people has been for long time someone to whom the traditional companies looks as not interesting, but is changing because moves a lot of money.

Congratulations for your domain

Thanks, I am very exited to get this name developed, just with work, I have no time, but I have a month off soon, so then I can start.
I myself have Backpacked throughout the world as a young person, so I know the potential of this name.

probably less since it's just an empty forum.

I thought you would make it into a portal site with a forum on the side.

Anyways.. G/L with the site

I think it has the potential to be great. I lived in Europe for a few years and backpackin is way bigger there, than in the US. Were talking hundreds of thousands annually, maybe into the millions taking in Europe and beyond. Great niche to exchange information to others, lists of hostels, out of the way places to explore. The possibilities are endless...GO FOR IT! You will have a site worth xx,xxx when fully developed.

Thanks for your input, it encourages me greatly when I hear that kind of feedback ... coming from Australia I see the amount of backpackers travelling Australia are amazing. .... and I too have backpacked Europe fora couple of years.

More feedback on this name would be appreciated.
