BACKPACKERS VS TOURISTS: IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?
Posted: 11/16/2008 | November 16th, 2008 Updated: 12/22/2021 | December 22nd, 2021 All along the backpacker trail, you hear it. The talk. The chatter. The snarls. The attitude. The condescension. Det er rigtigt. I’m speaking about exactly how backpackers feel about “tourists.” Backpackers view tourists as non-travelers. Tourists are people who just go to a location for pictures, hotels, as well as cheesy restaurants. They stay with the beaten path, take huge bus tours, as well as never bother to interact with the locals. Backpackers, on the other hand, think about themselves as genuine travelers – they go locations for cultural experiences, to satisfy the locals, as well as to immerse themselves in faraway lands. They are available to discover about the world as well as find unknown tricks as well as connections. Or, at least, that’s what they believe they are doing. However, while some travelers do that, a…
Our travels in Athens, Greece
“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.” – Paul Theroux We arrived in Athens, Greece on May, 7th and when we arrived at our hotel we were amazed. After spending over a week in our hotel in Beirut full of plugged toilets, plumbing problems and pubic hair, we were surprised at the exceptionally clean room in Athens. I guess this is Europe and the room cost us $50 but it could’ve been worth thousands of dollars compared to hotel Valery in Beirut. The owner seemed confused when we asked to see the room before staying the night. He looked at us with a dumbfounded expression and I was tempted to describe to him that our last room was a blanket covered, stench box with a toilet hole under the bed, so a close inspection of this room was not an insult, just a new force…
Magic Ears Review: earn $26/Hour online As An English teacher
update August, 2021: China has changed its policies relating to foreign English teachers. This indicates that unfortunately, Magic Ears isn’t hiring at the moment. We will update this post as we hear more. Here’s the current from the Guardian: “On 23 July, China’s highest governing body, the state council, released new policies barring for-profit companies from tutoring in core curriculum subjects, and foreign investment in such companies. The step was announced in part as a measure to minimize pressure on parents and students in China’s hyper-competitive education field.” In this Magic Ears review, I’ll let you know exactly what it’s like to work for this company. I must know, I’ve been a Magic Ears teacher for 3 years now and have taught over 4,000 classes!

La Trinidad Strawberry Farm: Heart-shaped Madness in Benguet, Philippines
Strawberries may be heart-shaped but these sweet little things are heartless. I walked cautiously in between the rows of strawberries, all the while being reminded of tragic love stories. They are sinful temptations dangling or lying on the ground, taunting you to pick them but at a certain cost. They urge you to come touch and pluck them from their frail branches even when you already have a basketful and you know it is all you can afford. and they deceive you by pretending to be berries — heck, they’re not even real fruits — and you purchase anything they want to make you believe because, well, they are pretty. Nevertheless, an affair with strawberries can be highly rewarding. Simply, the place is called Strawberry Farm. Cradled in a plain in La Trinidad Valley in Benguet, it is located nearly 30 minutes away from Baguio City, which has become practically synonymous…
13 fantastiske ting at lave i Sydafrika
Sendt: 03/2/20 | 2. marts 2020 Sydafrika er populært for sine sensationelle landskaber, ekstraordinære dyreliv, prisvindende vingårde, fantastiske strande og dens livlige og kosmopolitiske byer. Jeg har været i landet to gange og forlader altid at have mere. Der er noget dybt specielt om dette sted. Stretching over 2.800 kilometer (1.700 miles) og hjem til over 56 millioner mennesker, du kunne nemt bruge måneder her og stadig ikke se alt. Heck, bare kører fra den ene ende af landet til den anden ville tage flere dage. Selv om der er hundredvis af ting at se og gøre i Sydafrika, er her en liste over, hvad jeg synes er de must-see og must-do aktiviteter, mens du er her: 1. Gå på en safari De fleste mennesker kommer til Sydafrika for at gå på en safari – og af god grund. Det er hjemsted for nogle af de bedste spildrev i verden,…
Batu Caves: Alle ting, der er høje i Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Dusinvis af makakiske aber indledte besøgende med den 272-trins trappe til templet. Faktisk ville det at sige, at de “indledte”, var sukkercoating det. Ikke kun fulgte nogle af dem besøgende rundt, nogle få befandt sig også i den ene ende af en mini-brawl, når de begynder at få territoriale, eller når de bare prøver at snappe mad fra intetanende turister. Det var den sidste dag i vores ugelange tur over vestkysten af Peninsular Malaysia, og der var ingen bedre måde at afslutte denne rejse end et stop på et af de mest tjekkede steder i Kuala Lumpur-Batu-huler. En 4 millioner år gammel Karst Hill, det er et netværk af huler og kamre. Der er tre store huler, men den største er katedralhulen eller tempelhulen, så opfordret til sit høje loft og et antal hinduistiske helligdomme, den huser. Batu Caves ligger 13 km nord for den malaysiske hovedstad og er faktisk…
