Princess with a Backpack

Posted by Nadine Bells

Lately, I've had a bit of an obsession with traveling. The idea of it, anyway. I'm starting to realize that with travel opportunities being so abundant, there's little excuse for my passport being so stamp-less. And the idea of backpacking is becoming more and more appealing. So when I heard about the book Princess with a Backpack, I felt an instant princess bond with Lauren Resnick, its author. Because as much as I want to rough it, realistically, I'm going to pack eyeshadow.

From the author:

I do admit that I am a princess, and there's nothing wrong with that. Princess With a Backpack is the perfect guide for the princess who desires to see the world and experience more than her creature comforts. Find out how to get the confidence and to get the most out of your trip. It's the stuff that the lonely planet won't tell you. Find out how to plan your trip without freaking out; what to wear without packing 12 shades of denim jeans; how to pack for more than 6 months of travel time; how to keep trim and still eat pizza in Rome; Europe's best bars, parties, clothing stores and accommodation fit for a princess (all tried, tested and approved); and much more.

For someone to acknowledge my slightly-higher-than-low-maintenance lifestyle and reassure me that I can, in fact, live out of a backpack is exciting. Maybe I'll do it. The book has tips on streamlining your makeup routine, packing strategies for a versatile wardrobe, and how to carry your own non-perishable meals with you.

Get your copy over at Amazon. And proudly travel like the princess you are.
