Several times I’ve wondered to myself…how nice it would be to just ignore everything you have and embark on a backpacking journey. And I know at times like this, I’m trying to escape the life I’m leading. And I’ve been wondering more about this, which shows that I’m really sick and tired…I need a break.
It’s so wonderful that the couple who produced the Lonely Planet series has backpacked Asia. Who knew that they would start a popular travel guide book series with their experience? And I absolutely love the name of the series, Lonely Planet. How true..
Sometimes, I think of something funny. Nowadays, with budget airlines, a few hundred bucks could probably get you to someplace nice in Asia. I don’t know if it’s possible, but can someone just go there without booking any hotel, and just ‘camp’ at the airport or something when they wanna get some sleep? Better than hanging out in a park, haha. The only problem is probably bathing. But I really wonder if we can just go tour around the country and let the airport be the pit stop. Budget airlines, budget travel. Like say, if I wanna go someplace for 3 days and 2 nights, it can probably work out?? Sorry, I’m a travel idiot…so if I made you laughed like mad at this silly idea of mine, please forgive me…
But the thought of backpack traveling itself is just too nice…I don’t like seeing myself in large suitcases and checking in to hotels, ‘touring’ the country only to shop..NONONONONONO I don’t like this…unless I’m like with parents or something, then I probably have no choice but I LOVE SIGHTSEEING AND TAKING PICTURES. Argh, I don’t wanna get trapped with a shopping group…at least, give me some time to myself…I don’t mind not visiting Disney land, etc. BUT GIVE ME THE NICE VIEWS AND SCENERIES OF THE COUNTRY!! I wanna like really explore the place…and of course, enjoy my journey. And ya, buy some stuff and souvenirs haha. But shopping shall not top my list of activities…
Photographing a place you’ve visited is great…but I feel that having been there and experience everything is much, much better…but of course, we take pictures for memories…
Haha, typed so much…I wonder if it will even happen. Right now, let’s concentrate on FSV and not forget to escape once in awhile too..hehe. And don’t ever try swimming across the causeway just to get to our neighbour Malaysia just because you wanna escape…

Did you know the very first Lonely Planet guidebook was written and compiled in a hotel room in Singapore by the husband and wife you wrote about?
