Different Strokes Christine over at the newly-redesigned Almost Fearless makes some important observations:  Travel isn&#8217;t for everyone, and a year-long RTW  gauntlet isn&#8217;t  for every traveler. &#8220;It’s as if we’ve collectively decided that if you’re going to travel,  then you must cram as much actual traveling into that time as possible,&#8221; Christine says.
Going to Burma? Jodi from Legal Nomads offers a solid Crash Course to Burma that includes a fascinating discourse on the perils of Burmese alarm clocks. After her explanation of Burmese currency (there are no ATMs, you can&#8217;t withdraw money from banks, U.S. dollars must be pristine [...]]]></description>

 Computer Security, Expat Aspirations, A Twitter Party, Travel Underwear and Cambodian Hookers&#8230;.

 
 
 Your money and computer on lockdown  Anil over at foXnoMad gets 2 shout-outs for solid info on choosing a bank and securing your laptop while traveling— two items that have been on TWP&#8217;s  &#8220;to  research&#8221; list for a while. Thanks, Anil.
Because underwear is important  Brooke  at Brooke vs. The World reviews her unmentionables on tape and weighs  the pros and cons of Ex Officio&#8217;s travel underwear. Stay tuned for the  guy&#8217;s version from TWP (because not all boxer-briefs [...]]]></description>

Strategic Seating
Scott from Trekeo pinch-hits over at  Almost Fearless and fills us in on how to snag an empty airline seat. My personal favorite: &#8220;The Shufle.&#8221; When boarding&#8217;s finished, just hustle back and claim that empty row for yourself— flight attendants aren&#8217;t likely to care, says Scott.
When Travel is Work
Audrey from Uncornered Market shares insight on combating  the working-traveler&#8217;s burnout, a self-induced condition that results from tight itineraries and ambitious goals. Her advice, which she calls the &#8220;sanity-preservation principle,&#8221; is simple: choose fewer destinations, stay in them longer.
Scandanavian Utopia?

Brutal Moderator War on  LP&#8217;s Thorntree: Traveler vs. Traveller gets personal (and really  funny).
I agree with Nomadic Matt: Wanna be a travel writer? You  should probably start writing.
Is Travel Self Indulgent? An  endlessly intriguing topic and a solid bit of writing from twogoRTW

With guidebooks and a television show seemingly geared for  septuagenarians, endless golly-gee-this-is-great enthusiasm and billowy, synthetic dad pants, Rick Steves isn&#8217;t one of  my go-to sources for travel info. With some reluctance, I picked up an advance copy of his latest book, Travel as a Political Act, from the &#8220;Free Table&#8221; at the office of a  magazine I was working for (FYI: the Free Table is where unsolicited review copies  go to die unless some staffer decides  they&#8217;re worth taking home). I&#8217;ve snagged some very good and very, very bad material from the ol&#8217; Free Table; [...]]]></description>

As an independent traveler, you probably aren&#8217;t interested in following  the tour buses down well-worn ruts to popular attractions. Luckily,  there&#8217;s a virtually unknown alternative for every tourist swarm. The  folks at Eyewitness Travel sent a copy of Off the Tourist Trail just  before it hit stores last fall (while I was still desk-bound), and it&#8217;s become a go-to source for  semi-secret destinations the world over. Here are four of my favorite  options:
Historical Site
Isla del Sol vs. Machu Picchu 
Sure,  Machu Picchu is iconic for a reason. But a glut of Hawaiian-shirted,  [...]]]></description>

Whether you&#8217;re in search of motivation to pack your bag or  just looking for confirmation that such a trip is indeed possible, there are plenty of options for putting off actually researching your trip until tomorrow.  Here are five of my favorites:




Ernest Hemingway
The Sun Also Rises. Tenth grade English (Thanks, Mrs. Jones). Such was my introduction to &#8220;Papa,&#8221; but I&#8217;d recommend any of his work — short story,  novel, whatever. Hemingway wrote like a man who&#8217;d seen the world, and  that&#8217;s because he had. As a soldier, an expatriate and lifelong  wanderer, his personal experiences shaped his [...]]]></description>
