97. In Turkey, gum can tell your fate.

9. Sushi joints are not one of those things that you should just stumble upon.

33. Who is to say you can’t learn to speak Finnish, Mongolian, or Tagalog? It never occurred to me that someone cannot learn a new language. With enough perseverance, passion, trust, and creativity you can speak any tongue. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

27. You will get sick when you travel. It is not the end of the world. Just rest. Marrakech, Tokyo, and/or possibly Milwaukee will still exist after you recover.

104. Vancouver has a bed bug problem. Trust me.

81. You know what’s cooler than playing a guitar in a hostel? Not playing a guitar in a hostel.

92. Do not let your ethno/national-centrism get the best of you. For example, Canadians do celebrate Thanksgiving; it is just in October, not November. If you go to the store Thanksgiving weekend thinking it will be a normal shopping spree, you will be punished for your ignorance when you cannot find any goddamn pecans or rosemary.

43. Remember clothing sizes vary in different regions of the world. A large in Ecuador is not a large from the USA …

49. Put sense of place above all else.

56. Weather expectations while traveling can be harmful. Always remember that your destination may not be the sunny paradise you think it will be, so pack appropriately.
