Gourmet Backpacking

Making your budget stretch whilst backpacking is a real art. It often involves making sacrifices. One of the easier places to save money is with food. I have spent weeks on end eating super noodles and processed cheese to ensure I had the money to spend on more important things like trips.

That said I recall the time I was travelling across the South Island New Zealand in a campervan. On the way to Glacier Country a stop off at The South Westland Salmon Farm in Paringa had been recommended by another traveller. That hunk of smoked salmon on toast consumed in the back of our campervan was the best meal we had eaten for 2 weeks and well worth the rationing that followed!!

What's backpacking without the occasional indulgence...
