10 reasons…

…not to read post modern travel writing.

– You already know how to pack and don’t need tips from someone who hasn’t even renewed their passport yet

– Your tolerance for “how to” articles is limited to the instructions on a piece of IKEA furniture

– See through the inherent racism in statements like ,”not that laws mean anything in the 3rd world”

– Visited the country 2 regimes ago

– Remember going to post offices and trying to actually send letters home

– Couchsurfed before Couchsurfing

– Used to travel to Marrakesh overland

– Know who Freya Stark is and have actually read her

– Remember what pesetas, franks, escudos and marks were

– Hate top 10 lists
