Hiking / backpacking in other countries can be a nice way to get in touch with the folks living in that country. My experience tells me, that solo travelling is by far the best way to get acquainted with the locals - and enjoy the scenery. In my opinion, going in a group of friends or own country-folks is almost a certain way to avoid talking to any local on personal basis. I was on my own or with a friend on most of the hikes / backpacking tours abroad - only the Morocco hike was with a group. On that tour I did not get to know a single local. Even if there was quite a few of them assisting my group . . . 

​

What I say about the countries / tours here does not need to be anything like other people have experienced. This does not mean that I think people with different experience are "wrong" - these are just my reflections, based on notes I have written on my journeys.
