“This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven’t tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.”
-Alex Garland, The Beach
Have you read “The Beach” by Alex Garland? It’s such a great book. And I just love this quote because really, this sums up my travel philosophy. Go everywhere you possibly can, never fail to be polite, and suck in the experience. What else is there?
In this section, you’ll find my stories and guides from the road. You’ll read about everything from hosteling through South East Asia on $5 a day to travel hacking elite flights and 5 star hotels. Cruising the Caribbean to elephant rides through Rajasthan, India.
