Alright so...I have this growing desire to travel because, considering the laws and desires of the current president, these natural wonders we take for granted will probably be turned to shit in our lifetimes. So I'd like to see them before that. Also I don't believe in an afterlife so it just kinda adds to the urgency.

Anyway, as I was kinda googling stuff I came upon a site and it had email tips about traveling and stuff so I subscribed.

Alright.

Today I got such a stupid and insulting email.

It was basically like this:

"Myth #1: traveling is expensive

Traveling isn't expensive, that's a lie put out by the travel companies!

And I'm not going to really give you useful advice other than telling you that you're still going to have to spend longer saving up for it!

Myth #4: hitchhiking is dangerous

Hitchhiking isn't dangerous! That's a lie put out by the FBI during the civil rights movement!

Myth #6: It's more dangerous for females

As long as you stay in another female's home, no harm can come to you!"

There was just so much stupidity and ill logic (with nothing really helpful other than "it's lies man, liiiiiies" that I unsubbed from the email list immediately. Lmao

@Phthalo - Ugh! I hate things like that, or where they tell me I can save so much money by just not buying a $5 latte every morning. What if I already don't do that? WHERE'S THIS MAGIC MONEY GOING TO COME FROM NOW?!

That said - I've traveled a fair amount, so if you want any more realistic travel tips, let me know! :)
