Many backpackers wouldn’t usually contemplate a holiday in Benidorm, Spain. The fact that this is one of the world’s most popular and largest resorts can be off-putting for the independently minded traveler who likes to do things differently. Going somewhere that the masses choose to go on holiday doesn’t always sit well with someone who […]
Grand Central at 100: A Look Back
Few train stations have captured the imagination more than New York’s Grand Central Terminal (commonly known as Grand Central Station), which, 100 years after its opening, remains one of the world’s most visited landmarks. More than 20 million people pass through the Beaux-Arts building each year — many of whom do not have tickets or […]
Peed On For The Very First Time
I awoke to what I thought was an earthquake. My bed was shaking violently, and I could hear the cries of a backpacker. O no, here we go again, just like Tokyo” I thought in panic as I prepared to make my escape. But as I gathered my senses, I realized that these were not […]
Response To Fox’s Latest Report
* The following are responses to the most common questions I have received lately. 1) While I’ve read you do not condone or encourage literally running away from home, would you say that in some ways your site promotes it?

Best Bars In London
Few things are more quintessentially British than an outing to the pub. It is an indisputable cornerstone of British culture. People drink when it rains, they drink when it shines, and they also drink at anytime. Yet despite all this drinking, everyone still miraculously manages to get things done. In order to accommodate all these […]
Runaway Rendezvous with Megan The Motorcycling Mamacita
I first met Megan at the Papaya Lodge in El Tunco, El Salvador. From the moment she walked into the dorm, I couldn’t stop sneaking glances. She had her vintage red helmet in hand, her riding boots on, and a sexy wind blown look on her face. When my curiosity could no longer be contained, […]
Khat: The Adderall Of East Africa
You’ll never believe it, but you can actually find free Adderall in East Africa. Not only that, they are more addicted to it than kids in the US. To be honest though, it’s not exactly Adderall.

How To Protest Around The World
I look up. A volley of cans are hurling in a high arc through the smoke filled air. I immediately calculate their trajectories and realize they’re heading right for me. With zero time, I leap to safety. The first one lands just a few feet from where I was standing. White gas suffocates the air. […]
Budget Friendly Budapest
Sure London is lovely, Paris is pretty, and Rome is cool, but what about the cities of Eastern Europe? You hardly ever hear Gina from Brooklyn say, “Hey Marty! Me and the kids are going to Prague this Saturday.” No, it’s almost always Rome or Barcelona. People just don’t realize how cool the cities of […]
How To Travel Without A Plan
I love arriving in a completely foreign country without preparation or a plan. The uncertainty is exhilarating and the sense of freedom is unrivaled. It was in this style that I arrived, for the first time, in El Salvador at 1:30 AM last Wednesday. You might be thinking, as my family did “Why in the […]
