Get Dumped and Go Around the World

Interesting article about a bloke that gets dumped and goes around the world for 2 years with his recently divorced brother. They travelled in true flashpacker style.

They got rid of their guidebooks in Vietnam. “I’m sick of the cult of the Lonely Planet. And I’m sick of hanging out with Lonely Planet groupies,” Wisner exploded one day. “Plus, how can this planet ever be lonely if we all congregate in the same cafés and youth hostels sipping our teas and patting each other on the back for avoiding tourist traps?”
