Understanding the impacts of a backpacker at a micro-level is easy, since as backpacker, I was usually thrived to live the adventure, and explore new places, people, cultures and customs.

As a backpacker and Google Local Guide, I was thrilled to search for small local places at the different cities I visited.

Backpackers might be thought to have low impact on economies, but as one measures the amount of backpackers that are around the world, the sum of every backpacker would add to their impact.

Listening europeans having backpacking experiences was pretty common. And it seems all of them have the goal of getting to know the local places, languages, food and cultures.

It was also surprising for me the number of Germans speaking spanish, and most of them had already traveling experiences in Latin America.

One of the first persons that I met at Hochschule Heilbronn was Radivoje.

Personal traits that I could say about Radivoje are that he is hard-working, adventurous and bright, same brightness that surprised me when he started talking to me in perfect spanish the first time I met him.

Radivoje studied the master at the same time as me, but he studied Master in International Tourism Management.

Currently, Radivoje is developing his e-commerce skills at Ebam, and has helped me as freelancer on further improving my website.

Radivoje and I shared the similar experiences of being backpackers. He traveled in Latinamerica and I traveled in Europe.

Such interest on Traveling and Latin America, let Radivoje to do the following master thesis research that he shares at my website.
