After a ton of delays and cancelled flights I arrived in my latest destination almost 36 hours late, which was a timely reminder of just how important it is to be flexible with your backpacking itinerary and even more so to include some rest days in that time too.

Definitely agree with you on this. Being open to new experiences as they happen enhances your gap year, you can’t be so tight with an itinerary that it closes you off from them.
Definitely, that loses half the point of travelling in the first place!
