Posted : 4/2/23 | April 2nd, 2023 Today is a big day. It marks fifteen years running this website. I posted my first blog entry in early April 2008, after spending over a month bugging friends I met in Vietnam for help with coding. Back then, in the days before WordPress, you had to hand-code everything, and I spent a lot of time figuring out how to move images around, design graphics, create links, and format the site. I started this blog as a way to get freelance writing gigs so I could afford to keep traveling. I just wanted to put off going corporate for as long as possible. I never thought I’d have a career in travel, but I guess after fifteen years doing so, this counts as a career. I’ve created books , courses , and tours , spoken at conferences, and am quoted in the media. So, I guess I’m kind of an expert in travel? That feels weird to say. Being a public figure is surreal to me, because, in so many ways, I’m still just a guy who wants to keep traveling. There’s so much

As flood inundates Assam and the freakish monsoon wreaks havoc, I haplessly wonder about the plight of the locals. However, during winters, the weather is congenial and there is no risk of a natural disaster whatsoever. While writing, I hark back to the days when I had a chance to explore this beautiful Pobitora Wildlife […] The post Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary: Mystic Grasslands Of Assam appeared first on Inditales .

Posted : 3/27/2023 | March 27th, 2023 I’m bad at taking photos. That’s not to say the pictures I take are bad (though there’s debate on that too!). Rather, I always forget to take photos for this blog whenever I’m traveling. I’ve gotten better in recent years (thanks to the team here constantly reminding me). But that means I take a lot of photos — photos of me for my social media, pictures of landscapes and monuments for the website, menus so I can update prices on the blog, and everything in between. After over 15 years traveling the world , I have thousands and thousands of pictures on my hard drive. Literally. I actually went through all my photos in 2022. It took TWO MONTHS of sorting and arranging them into folders, separating them by date and destination, and removing duplicates and those I didn’t want to keep. It was a hassle. But it didn’t have to be. Enter Mylio Photos . Mylio is an app that makes it easy to save, store, edit, organize, and protect all your travel ph

Posted : 3/24/2023 | March 24th, 2023 Everyone says that you have to stop traveling the world once you have kids. In this guest post, Kristin from Be My Travel Muse shares how she has managed to keep traveling the world — even with a baby — and the lessons and challenges traveling with a child has presented. For nearly ten years, I traveled to over sixty countries on six continents by myself. If you had told 26-year-old me, who was just beginning her solo travel adventures, that she would eventually have a baby, she might have searched out a DeLorean to rewrite the script. Traveling solo meant ultimate, intoxicating freedom . It didn’t matter if I woke up and made a last-minute decision to leave a place, or to stay for two more weeks. It didn’t matter if I completely upended my plans on a whim because of a new person I met or a new destination I became aware of. It didn’t matter what I wanted to eat for dinner or when. I could be totally, deliciously selfish, which I loved at the

Last Updated: 3/23/23 | March 23rd, 2023 Some people travel to explore ancient historical sites , others to sample the culture or food or language of new and exciting destinations. And, sometimes, people travel to party. When it comes to budget backpacking , one of the most common ways travelers break the ice is over a drink. Or two. Or three. Whether it’s at bars, clubs, lounges, beach parties, or just in small groups sitting around talking while sipping a bottle of wine, alcohol — for better or worse — is often a staple of life on the road. If you’re looking to embrace your wild side and party hard with other travelers, here’s my thoroughly researched list. I’ve been to over one hundred countries and have drunk heavily around the world, so I know a good party when I see one! If you are looking to party when you travel, visit one of these places:   1. Bangkok, Thailand Bangkok is a hub for budget travelers. It’s where the infamous Khao San Road is located. All travel road
