Coming to the end of my travels in India
I have learnt a few things
one of them is how to travel
Or, my israeli friend, tought me a few of them.
I have learnt to stay as far away from the Lonely Planet
Instead I talk to people
they are the best information
I get a detailed map
they are full of little villages
I read the local newspapers
for all the local events worth seeing at each time
I follow up on the news
it makes every experience more vivid
I read books about the local culture
as I told you before, Sashi Tahoor’s book has proved to be very good
I get different travel books, focused on small areas
they are full of gems untouched by the avarage tourist.
But first and foremost,
trust your instinct,
you are always right.
So now
at the end of my travels
I am taking the Lonely Planet to the bookshop
getting rid of it
too late
but better late than never.
Now you can learn from my mistakes.
