That’s it – the 14 people you’ll meet when backpacking in the UK – even if you don’t want to!  Unless you’re socially inept, travel ditching doesn’t come naturally to most people but it’s a valuable skill to have when backpacking and can make your trip infinitely more enjoyable if you learn to politely extract yourself from the company of unwanted travel buddies. Who knows, maybe they’re trying to travel ditch you too.
