...not to read post modern travel writing.
- You already know how to pack and don't need tips from someone who hasn't even renewed their passport yet
- Your tolerance for "how to" articles is limited to the instructions on a piece of IKEA furniture
- See through the inherent racism in statements like ,"not that laws mean anything in the 3rd world"

- Couchsurfed before Couchsurfing
- Used to travel to Marrakesh overland
- Know who Freya Stark is and have actually read her
- Remember what pesetas, franks, escudos and marks were
- Hate top 10 lists
