Do you do this alone? Is it easy to make new friends while traveling? What made you start doing this? How did you start? I might want to do something similar.

you make it sound like you just casually started travelling and never stopped. i'm about 19 and i can't imagine being alone thousands of miles away from anywhere familiar in a dirty hostel. as much as it would be incredible to backpack around the world, i'm not sure i'd adapt well enough to survive - especially on a tight budget.

i meant, after deciding that you wanted to do this, what did you do? did you immediately leave, or save up for it, did you plan it meticulously or just had a couple destinations in mind?
