This is not the average travel blog to find travel advice...No hotel recommendations...No mainstream monotone travel pictures...No dumb lonely planet to do locations...My proposition...Go...Inhale live...Throw away stupid travel guides...be inspired by coincidence...Traveling at it's best...Don't inquire about a hotel I may be staying at, a question which leaves a blank. The concept of booking ahead just feels so alien to me. My usual approach on entering a new country is simply to arrive and see what happens.
Not interested!...Go away and keep reading those numerous regular blogs.
