Against Backpacking

Something I wrote to get something off my chest.

OK, I’m not against backpacking per se. If you enjoy backpacking, do it! There are certain places you can only get to by backpacking, and I hope that it stays that way.

I object to the attitude that budget travel is morally superior to luxury travel. It’s my dream to visit Ethiopia one day. And if I do, I will stay in the best accommodations they have. That’s rough enough!

Also: be nice, establish boundaries, learn to recognize borderline bitches and stay away from them.
