Kylie Minogue to backpack around the world after next tour

Washington, March 19 : Pop diva Kylie Minogue is planning to embark upon a world trip after completing her next tour.

The singer, who returned to the music industry after successfully beating breast cancer in 2006, will be beginning a tour soon.

The upcoming tour will mark her second tour in two years.

Minogue, however, is contemplating backpacking across the world after the completion of the tour.

"After the next tour I'd love to just put on a backpack and go," Contactmusic quoted her as telling U.S. magazine.

The 39-year-old star has revealed that she developed a liking for travelling when she took a week's vacation after being given the cancer all clear.

"Just after I finished my treatment, I didn't want to rush back to London or Paris - the two places I'd associated with being ill - so I went to Sri Lanka," she said.

"I remember feeling truly happy there because I had some privacy. I was with people who didn't look at me in the same way as people do at home, and who, with the tsunami and civil war, had suffered so much more than I had. It was just one week but it was worth a million weeks," she added.
