“I’ve been homeless for over seven years now, have slept in more than 160 beds and visited over 30 countries in that time. At some point I am going to have to address the question of when to stop. Is that point now? “
I think it was in Ho Chi Minh City, (Saigon) that I grew into being a traveller. I was crossing the road at a busy intersection and walked decisively, watching where I was going as the motorcycles flowed past me, and as I got to the other side I thought – yep, I’m a traveller now.
I spent a month in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I went to experience what is said to be one of the busiest and most multicultural cities in the world, but it also made me question where I stand economically.
In over seven years of full-time travel, I’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs. These are some of the hosts I remember as being exceptional and why.
What was I thinking when I booked this place? Is this a question or an exclamation? Both fit. I knew I didn’t want to be in the centre of Ao Nang, loud crowds, thumping music wasn’t my scene (even if the cheap beer was.) But Krabi, the larger town, seemed just that bit too far away, so I looked for something in between.
