But….it’s SO COOL to imagine your English stereotypical alter ego wearing a bowler hat, playing footie, and sipping pints at the pub.

Noo, don’t ruin it for us Americans. We love the English that the media feeds us!
Allergic to BEER?

In all seriousness- Loved the article. Quite ample and explanatory. Good flow.
Great job!

Was actually lucky enough to bump into Colin Thubron once. (He was giving a speech at the RGS in London, so not exactly an affable nobody that time – although he sounded as if he might have liked to be…).

A part of “In the Shadow of the Silk Road” (a beautifully eloquent book) that has stuck with me, is just the one you quote above. When travelling, you can choose to be anonymous – or to be anyone, experiment with personalities even… All sorts of fun possibilities.

I’ve enjoyed your series, thanks so much.

Where’s's the fun in traveling where everything’s sorted in advance? Where’s the adventure in that?

But it’s your lucky day. My advice is swiss-cheesed with oversights and inconsistencies. Completely untrustworthy. So you’re safe to go traveling.
