The Tranquilo Traveler
The Tranquilo Traveler is a celebration of voluntourism, slow travel, and other interesting ways to see the world. Travel writer and award- winning Moon Handbooks author Joshua Berman created The Tranquilo Travel as a resource for world trippers and international volunteers, a window to the author’s travels in Nicaragua, Belize, and beyond, and an update of his books and articles.
Hostel Sex and Honeymoon Registries: Great ideas from Brave New Traveler
Brave New Traveler, one my favorite independent online travel rags, asks, “What do you get when you drop a few dozen backpackers into a hostel, soak with beer and mix in a healthy dose of liberation from social norms?” Read the article, “Hostel Sex: A Practical Guide For Backpackers,” for ideas on how to cope with the answer to this question, i.e. where you should go to bump nasties: the roof? The bathroom? The broom closet? “Don’t have sex in the hostel kitchen. Just don’t. People cook food in the kitchen. No one wants traces of mystery juice in their stir-fry.”
On a more savory note, read “Honeymoon Registries: Because You Already Have Enough Bath Towels,” with links and advice for getting wedding guests to give you the gift of travel on “online honeymoon registries, where guests can contribute to the expenses and activities of a post-wedding trip.”
