TRAVEL

I am a fan of the internet, from communications, recipes, creative ideas, education to travel it has certainly revolutionised the way I go about life. However when it comes to travel and adventure I sometimes think too much information spoils the experience. I don’t mean the convenience of booking travel tickets or accommodation, its just that there is less to explore and enjoy fresh without having the opinions of some random traveller in mind colouring the experience.Then again its really tempting to get info before hand from the web on what its like to visit a place, bazaar or restaurant. The problem is once a review is read the unexpected or surprise factor is lost.

Its hard to ignore what the internet has to offer before I even decide on a destination because I would rather not lose out on value for money. Reading first hand traveller reviews of a hotel is impossible to avoid. The benefits of this is obvious but on the other hand booking a hotel that looks good on paper but junk on hand is kind of a fun experience in retrospect. The unexpected is the stuff of adventures, the stuff of fun stories and interesting conversation fodder.
