With Roo news a little dry lately, we're diving into some community news and stories by talking with one of our good friends Jums about his worldwide backpacking tour this last year!  From half of the states to a few more continents, he's got a lot of wild stories but also some suggestions on how you can get the best bang for your buck when it comes to travel!
