What I Do When I Don’t Travel: 20 More Facts About Me

Who am I just a man who loves to travel? What do I do when I am not on the road? What are my interests? Do I have hobbies?

Since I am more than just a writer and a traveling writer, I wanted to share with you a little about my identity and what I do when I am not on the road (allow me to one article).

While I publish a lot of my daily life InstagramHere is a little about me and my life!

1. I hate flying. I love airports, halls and elite status, but the flight makes me feel nauseous. I don’t like the heights and any air bumps make me think the plane is about to crash. I am not a good pilot and take the adulterers to calm me on most flights. (It is ridiculous to consider the number of times I travel!)

2. I never traveled independently until I went to Costa Rica at the age of 23. My travel experiments were until then a series of wild trips with my father and a weekend in Montreal when I was 19 years old. (Also, I never went to the west of the country) Mississippi until I was 25 years old.)

3. I decided to travel for a long time after I met five of the travelers in a shared taxi during my vacation in Thailand. I was very surprised by what they were doing so that I decided the next day to leave my job and make long -term travel my goal. They were an Australian, Canadian and Belgian couple. They changed the course of my life and have no idea.

4. When I was younger, I wanted to become an archaeologist because of Indiana Jones films. I eventually went to school to be a high school history teacher and taught for one year, but after that the economy collapsed and no one had appointed history teachers, so I got a job in administrative work in a hospital in Boston before I started traveling.

5. I have been subjected to three very bad accidents on the road. On my first trip on my own, I had a terrible food poisoning. I was hospitalized for three days and was placed on a drop of morphine. Second, the eardrum in Thailand. Third, I was stabbed in Colombia, and it is definitely the worst thing that happened to me!

6. I am a skilled cook. I don’t cook much on the road because I hate that the hostel kitchens are not fully equipped and everyone crowds them at the same time, but from time to time, I love to cook a huge meal for my travelers. However, when I am at home, I cook a lot and hold dinner parties for my friends. Some distinctive dishes include giant shrimp, tomato salad/basil/delicious olive, fast fries, and baked salmon.

7. I was a vegetarian. After reading Fast food nationI decided to give up the meat and I was vegetarian for four years. I was not against eating meat, but I was opposed to industrial agriculture and chemicals/antibiotics in meat. I gave up the vegetarian system when I started traveling.

8. I think it is rude to reject food in other cultures. If you go to a village in Mongolia and you are given food, it is insulting to refuse to. “Sorry, your traditional and honest cooking does not match my food needs.” It is not culturally sensitive. But this is honest for another position.

9. I am one of the most fans of the music of the begs, Mottown, Blues and Jazz.

10. If I can choose the time period I can live in, I will choose to ban America in the 1920s. I think this would be an exciting time to live in. But you might have just read Great Gatsby too much.

11. Talk about Gatsby, I learned the swinging dance so that I could hold a birthday party under the title Gatsby. I did it for three consecutive years. Epic birthday parties were epic.

12. After traveling politics is my second love. I live and breathe politics, and it is the only news that I follow during my travel. I am always ready to discuss and discuss around the world at any time of today and with anyone, regardless of how I know it. (However, in the past few years, I stopped listening to political news every day because it was causing me a lot of anxiety and did not take advantage of my mental energy well!)

13. People always ask whether I will remain Bedouin forever. My answer: I don’t know. Forever it is a long time. I am now traveling less than I used to and I think I will continue to make less trips, but I still travel a lot compared to the average person. At the present time, I enjoy the trip and I see no reason to suspend my bag yet.

14. I am a fan of Japan. I love everything related to culture: food, history, ethics of behavior, landscapes, and architecture – all of this. I will take sushi every day if you can.

15. I admire without shyness in Taylor Swift. She has a song for all feelings, and when she listens to her non -popular songs and enters her catalog, she sees her talent in writing songs. Listen to the last great American dynasty. I wrote a full narrative bow in three minutes. This is a good writing seriously. I went to the round of the ages several times. I love her.

16. I am also a fans of Sia. Incredible singer and writer.

17. I do not drink coffee. It tastes like disgust for me. I do not want to add sugar or milk (or soy milk) to my atmosphere. Drinks should be able to stand on their own! Nothing will change my opinion on this. For years, I tried to taste it. This will not happen.

18. Drink tea. Many of it. Especially green tea. This is my favorite? I am a big fan of the Rishi brand.

19. The preferred alcoholic mirror is of the old style. A few years ago, some friends turned me into whiskey and I have been obsessed since then. Judam the pubic quality of the bar that serves it.

20. One day, I would like to learn how to garden. I want to plant my food myself. I love cooking and I think it is a logical step.

21. I was a semi -professional poker. I funded a lot of my original trip through poker profits and lived in it Amsterdam For a few months of playing “professionally” in the city’s casino.

22. When I was younger, I worked at Sierra in Massachusetts. It has created a PowerPoint show that we took to various community organizations to show that by saving energy, they can save money and the environment at the same time.

23. We won a trip to New York City to play in the national championship there. I lost in the first round.

24. I do not eat sweets. I may have a Brauni cake or cake once a year, but mostly I do not eat sweets because I do not like all kinds of sugar.

25. When I work, I often run one song and repeat it again. It helps me focus because it ends up with a white noise. While writing this post, I was listening to the Sweet Annie song by the Zac Brown Band band frequently over the past two hours.

26. I have no favorite color. I have two: blue and green.

27. I was a spokesman for Asian Airlines. I made a commercial advertisement for them for two years on TV. Nevertheless, they made an audio. It seems always strange when I watch it.

28. I love movies. I may see two or three a week, whether at the stage or at home on Netflix. My friends and my friends have teams for movies.

29. My favorite wines? Scotch, specifically Scotch peaches from ILAY. (My favorite brand is ARDBEG.)

30. I want to learn how to shoot a pistol. Not because I am obsessed with weapons – I hate them so much, and I want strict weapons control, and I am a regular donor for every Gun Safety – but because I am one of these crazy “ready”. I think the world is very bad, and I would like to know how to shoot (a) protect myself in the event of an end to civilization and (b) hunting (something else I want to learn how to do) food when this happens or (c) comes the zombie. The existence of an alternative plan never hurts anyone, right?

To achieve this goal, I would also like to learn how to shoot with the bow and arrow. I think this will be really fun and useful.

31. I spend an hour a day reading. I am a great fan of biographies, travel books, history and business. I think reading and educating yourself is one of the most important things you can do in your life, and I cannot understand people who do not read books. In your typical year, I will read about 50-70 books. You can find a list of all favorite here.

32. I am a morning person. I tend to wake up around seven in the morning and do the best I have before lunch time. On a good day, I will wake up at 6 am.

33. I got more in the gym last year. I go to the gym six days a week and practice Pilates one day a week. Often for going to the gym is also a positive effect: Once you start going to the gym, you will end up with better food and drink less quantities because you do not want to spoil your training. My condition has improved a lot over the past few months and I plan to continue this year.

So this is the case! Some of the most interesting facts for me. Well, things I think are interesting at least.
