How exciting it is to be living a traveller’s life? You hear the stories of your friends who have been to all those fantastic places.. you see their pictures on Facebook… you see all the places they have checked in on FourSquare and you go, “Wow, What a fantastic life!” When you meet these people they talk about the wonderful experiences they have had, conversations with fellow travelers, acts of kindness by random strangers when they needed help and can’t help wish, “If only I led such a traveller’s life”What these stories don’t tell us is about the long waits at airports and train stations.
