Tips from an ex-professional traveller

The 7 lessons I learned as professional traveller were:

Know before dusk where your next bed is going to be.

You will only ever need what you can fit in a laptop bag.

Dirt roads exist to make journeys. Airports exist to make business trips.

When feeling lost, continue straight for just five more minutes.

A tourist becomes an explorer while breaking bread with the locals.

Places worth stopping at have strange foods, interesting people and a view.
And finally, often the only escape you require awaits in a good book, at home.
