Hopefully, this experience can now be shared by all people who know what travel really means. Travel is freedom. It's recess, and we need it. Experiencing the real thing requires catching it by surprise, going casual . . Through the Back Door.
Extroverts have more fun.
If your trip is low on magic moments, kick yourself and make make things happen. If you don't enjoy a place, maybe you don't know enough about it. Seek the truth. Recognize tourists traps. Give a culture the benefit of your open mind.
