The importance of travel

[CapnAwesome]

You're welcome for a coffee and a place to crash, but I quess you are not in Europe now?

No, I actually haven't been to Europe in almost 15 years, I've been to every country in North and South America except for Brazil, Venezuela and Bolivia. That's because they charge for Visas, so it's only worth it for me if I go for a long long trip. I was going to go to Africa this winter, but ended up in the American southwest, following the weather north. I normally spend my entire winter in Mexico. These places are not as dangerous as people think. If danger is what keeps you from traveling, you are missing out. I remember flying from Lima to Las Vegas and when I arrived my first thought was "What a sketchy shithole."

If I make some more money next time I work though, I might be going to Europe and will take you up on that couch. I've yet to meet a Dutch person who I dislike. Probably the friendliest European nationality.
