1. The Gilbert Species

Anybody who has read the book- Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert can identify with this kind of species. These travelers are usually in the 18-25 age groups who take a gap year just after or before college to explore the world.

Though this spontaneous plan to take a sabbatical can happen at an older age too. Nervous break-downs or reunions being the common reasons. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara comes to mind.

These over-enthusiastic backpackers and explorers are usually from Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and America, following round-the-world ticket route, spending most of their time in Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Australia.

These species tend to party a lot, sleep in dorms, see the main attractions, meet other travelers, and come home with a few good stories to share before they begin their college or career.

2. The Volunteers

This kind of backpackers travels with a higher purpose which is usually saving mankind, animals, or the environment. They travel with the aim of volunteering in disaster relief efforts, wildlife conservation, community development projects, humanitarian causes, etc.

They never run out of stories and experiences to share. A common belief among them is that the tacky dorms and hostels are a big luxury from the broken huts they had to stay in without running water or electricity.

3. The Partyholics

These nocturnal creatures are the party animals shouting the loudest in the bar. They will be the first to arrive and the last to leave a pub. In the mornings you can find them in their bedrooms sleeping or recovering from a hangover.

4. The Penny-Pinchers

They are those backpackers who are always envied in hostels. They prefer to stay in cheap hostels not because they can’t afford luxury but due to their interest in exploring and experiencing everything.

Their treasure includes high-end clothing, accessories, and gadgets. Their nights are reserved for fancy dinners and extravagant excursions which do not match their stay in $10 per-night tacky hostels.

These are the luxurious backpackers oozing out wealth and richness along every step of the way.

5. The Grannies

Most of the backpackers you are bound to find will be in their 20s or 30s. But among them, you are sure to come across the grannies or the oldies too. These travelers can afford to stay in high-end hotels but prefer cheap hostels due to their youthful energy, and communal spaces.

These oldies and midlifers are back on the road to once again experience their lost youth or take a leave from their fast-paced corporate lives. Lucky for you as they have some amazing stories to share.

6. The Happy Couples

These backpackers are the traveling couples out for a good time together. They can either be socializing with other couples or the oldies, partying with the group, meeting other travelers and not mind being chatty. They tend to gravitate towards romantic destinations.

Or they can be the reserved kind of couples who only want each other’s company and do not like being involved in the hostel parties. They usually book the deluxe private hostel rooms and want their privacy to be respected at all times.

7. The Hermione Species

These kinds of travelers are the know-it-all backpackers who always travel in similar ways and stay in hostels. They cannot be challenged in their history of travel and are thus unbeatable. They can tell you about the times when they went swimming with sharks when you have just been to scuba diving.

8. The Spiritualist

These backpackers are usually western, white, and young. Exhausted by the materialism in their world they travel to find inner peace and live a life of stoicism. They explore the local customs and cultures, read books on Buddhism and spiritualism.

Their usual destinations are temples and ashrams where you can find them doing yoga or chanting mantras. These travelers are known to have done ayahuasca in South America and yoga in Bali.

Travelers Spiritus forgo their material possessions to find themselves and blog about their new and healthy lifestyle. They boast as to how freer they feel and are usually found in South America, India, and Southeast Asia.

9. The Hippies

This species of travelers avoid tourist destinations as they are too commercial for them and are mostly found in India or some other developing country as they can’t afford anywhere else.

Their attire is their trademark as they are clothed with dreadlock and necklaces. They give out a rare appearance and seem weeks-overdue for a shower.

10. The Digital Nomad

This species is the rebellious kind who has broken free from the 9 to 5 job and have taken up location-independent, technology-enabled jobs. They work online to afford their travels and can be found on social media boasting their free lifestyle, posting beach photos on Instagram with captions like “Just another day at the office”.

They spend much of their time behind laptops and never experience the destination they are at. They live wherever there is good internet access and cheap hostels.

1. Apology Act

It is interesting to know that politeness costs nothing in Canada. In fact, the Canadians are famous for their politeness and have even created an Apology Act which allows its citizens to apologize without fear of misinterpretation.

2. Happiness comes every two weeks

In most countries, employees are usually paid a salary at the end of the month and hence they make ends meet at the end of a month. But in Canada, the employees are paid every two weeks and so do not need reasons for celebration.

3. Lunch Boxes become a must

Americans are famous for their brown bags in which they bring their meals. Companies also provide subsidized meals in their in-built restaurants. But in Canada, there is no such thing and the food is non-subsidized. So, better take your lunch box along with you.

4. Lost in translation

Canada has two official languages- English and French. Many of them speak various other languages and have different accents. Although there is nothing to worry as the Canadians are not so picky with their languages. Communication matters more than grammar.

5. Denims to work

The Canadians wear formals on all weekdays except for Friday. They love celebrating the end of a workweek and so dress down for their Casual Fridays.

6. Breaks are not for leisure

The French are famous for their two-hour long lunch breaks but there is no such thing in Canada. These people get a 30-minute lunch break and usually eat at their desks, so you’d better eat fast.

7. Work contracts are not to be taken that seriously

Here the work contracts are no that detailed and permanent. The contracts here are rather vague and so your work schedule may change without notice. The working hours are also not guaranteed.

Flexible non-paying work schedules

If you are going to work for a customer care services company then brace yourself for a flexible work schedule which means you can be called at any time and might have to work late in the night. Do not expect to be paid for such irregular hours.

Conclusion

Overall, Canada with its low unemployment rate is a great country to work in and enhance your career.

What Is A Work Visa and its Differences with Tourist/Visitor Visa?

 Why immigrate abroad when India as a country has so much to offer and its development keeps moving further with every passing day?

Advantages of Immigrating Abroad-

 Studies show that the majority looks towards moving abroad to be able to widen their horizon both in terms of better living standards and income expectations when it comes to applying for jobs. It’s all a part of living the dream as most people who move to places like Australia, USA or Canada claim to be in search of. These countries provide comfortable living and even though the expenses are much more in these countries than in India, the higher incomes offered eventually balance it out.

 Students who graduate from schools in India look towards taking up higher studies in abroad (in countries like the USA), looking into the countries offering more technical and detailed courses in their desired fields rather than just an overview of the same. Many of these students get on with a full scholarship due to their brilliant scores. They, therefore, see foreign countries as a better option due to the eminent educational institutions set up there in their attempt to further their academic prospects. They later settle down in these countries and set up their careers there. Another factor that adds to the charm of foreign countries is the notion of living independently that adds onto a person’s personal growth and enables them to experience life in a whole different way.   

Individuals also get to experience a whole new culture and gain knowledge about the place they move into and the people they interact with there. They are met with opportunities to discover and visit new places that expose them to new life experiences. Some might even adopt a foreign language while they are at it.  

Now, when we ask ourselves: why settle abroad, the answer is crystal clear as to the perks that come with it – work, pleasure, studies. But are there any disadvantages to immigrating abroad or is it all sunshine and rainbows on the other side?

Disadvantages of Immigrating Abroad

When we set out to write down the disadvantages of the same, the list is a big one. The first and foremost is the disadvantage that is faced when people with little or no means use wrong means to move abroad—they are willing to beg, borrow or steal as long as that gets them to a foreign country. These people often find themselves in jail for illegally migrating. Even if they are able to make it abroad, they end up being stuck at mediocre jobs like sales or working at food joints like McDonalds. These jobs come with odd shifts, low pays, and hectic work hours. More than half of these people end up being in high debt that makes their lives very difficult.

Not only this, moving abroad is a big change, one in which individuals have to leave their old life behind and adjust into a new one. This involves moving away from family, friends, relatives and anything and everything that one was familiar with. People then might also find it hard to settle in a completely different culture and interact with new people. They might eventually make close friends to hang out with but the in-between period of isolation can be very hard to deal with.

Furthermore, not everyone is able to instantly get a job straight out of college or in some scenarios one might not be happy in the job they took up in the foreign country. In cases where one is unable to find a job, one finds it hard to afford to live in these countries due to their hefty expenses. One will find it hard to quit a job in which they are unhappy due to the fear of the same. If one has moved in with their family, it becomes even harder as the number of people dependent on the income increases and sitting back to reconsider one’s decision is something that becomes impossible.

Some people also eventually discover that they are not comfortable having moved, there can be various factors contributing to it other than the jobs or education they came for. These include language barriers, culture shock or the fact that their relationships back home might be getting compromised—but there is only little that they can do in such cases as moving back becomes a grand task entirely.

So, not only turns out to be highly expensive but might also take a toll on the individual’s physical as well as mental health and may put one’s safety on the line. Some find it relatively easy to settle in new environments but for others, it becomes no less than a nightmare. Further, if one is thinking of starting a new family in these cases, it becomes twice as hard and many factors have to be considered before deciding to do anything.

India as a country has a lot to offer—both academically as well as on the job front but people choose to neglect the downfalls of moving abroad rather than further their lives in India. This has to do with the lack of good universities that match the level of education that foreign institutes provide. The social science courses offered abroad are far more comprehensive than the ones offered in India. When we talk about micro-biology or forensic sciences – such courses are not put out by many universities here.

New universities are being set up in India with the aim to include varied courses from different streams but the change is gradual. It is however attracting many individuals to study and work in the country itself, creating a great impact on the gross income level generated from the country and contributing to its overall development.

Conclusion

We can say one thing for sure that the decision of moving abroad is one to be understood as it opens up new horizons for people and helps them to explore new arenas—further helping them to grow into a whole new person. But the climb is a hard one with various obstacles facing them on the way like high expenses, mediocre jobs, feeling of isolation, finding a new home and turning around one’s life entirely.

The question then remains, should one stay in India and pursue their education and career here itself or is India the land of missed opportunities?
