1. 根据前文“carry big bags”和首字母b，可知是把包背在背上，填backs（on one's backs为固定搭配，意为“在某人背上”）。
2. 根据“for a new place”和首字母l，leave for是固定短语，意为“动身去某地”，Before后接动名词，填leaving。
3. 前文提到check的内容，结合“to live”和首字母w，填where，表“哪里住”。
4. 根据前文“don’t take too much money”和首字母c，填choose，choose to do sth.意为“选择做某事”。
5. 根据“six or eight beds”和首字母e，填each，each room意为“每个房间”。
6. 结合“hostels are much cheaper”和首字母b，填big，big hotels指“大旅馆”，与旅舍形成对比。
7. 根据“become friends there”和首字母d，填different，different places意为“不同的地方”。
8. 结合主语“Backpacking”和首字母t，填travellers，指“旅行者们”，用复数形式。
