Henri Michaux, Preface to Ecuador (1929) posted:
A man who knows neither how to travel nor how to keep a journal has put together this travel journal. But at the moment of signing he is suddenly afraid. So he casts the first stone. Here.



As a poor college student I saw many acquaintances study abroad or take a backpack tour of Europe. At the time I thought to my bitter self: "What do these travelers gain? A few photos snapped at various landmarks, some nights out at bars in new land, maybe a sexual conquest, new justifications for generalizing populations. To hell with it!! I have enough self-discovery to do right here in America!" But I have to admit, after accruing some funds and vacation time (along with a better perspective), I have the travel bug. After all, are we really to deprive our short lives from the possibility of new friends, lands, and inspiring monuments to past struggles just because of an unfortunately decadent tradition?

So then, how do you fellas travel? What countries have you been to and how do you plan your itinerary? Do you write, keep a journal, or read terrible travel zines before heading out? Spill your stories and advice!! Enhance your online persona with heroic tales of mystery, intrigue, sex, lies, drugs, and gonzo journalism!
