As a 19 year old whose never been backpacking before but plans on in the very near future I have some questions to hopefully get the most out of my experiences. I'd love to hear personal experiences as well in regards to my questions: (my questions aren't country specific because my backpacking plan involves going everywhere!)

1. There's no "trick" to meeting locals. You meet them the very same way you meet people in your own city... on public transport, at a market, at a music/theatre performance, in a bar, etc. etc. etc. You simply have to be open, respectful and interesting.
2. There is no "best" length of time to stay anywhere. Everyone has their own style of travel. Some people (like me) are super slow, others are super fast. You'll discover your own pace.
3. Follow your nose.
Have fun.
Cheers,
Terry
Hello,
1. The best way to meeting locals is firstly they should understand your language... try not taking a guide.
2. There is no "fix" time period to stay at a place. you should spend more time at the place you like more and less at the ones you don't.
3. Street foods can be found really tasty in Asian and American countries but not that awesome in Europe or Africa. so you should keep in mind which continent you are visiting
Have fun
