It's Rude to Keep An Adventure Waiting: Travel Advice, Tips, and Tricks
The Anthrotorian has officially been around for more than a decade — since 2012, I have been writing about travel, culture, art, and history on this website. To celebrate this landmark birthday, I published a book, It’s Rude to Keep an Adventure Waiting: Travel Advice, Tips, and Tricks.
This book has been created from the articles I have written for this website over the last ten years, plus some original, new chapters crafted specifically for this work.
It covers topics like:
How to plan a trip
Things all first-time international travelers need to know
Words you should know in the local language
Tips for solo travelers
Guide to cheek-kissing etiquette
Tips for nervous flyers
How to avoid jet lag
Road trip tips
Pack your carry-on bag like an expert
How to pick the right bag for your trip
How to haggle, barter, and bargain like a pro
How to eat like a local
Guide to tipping around the world
Bear safety 101
Top travel safety tips
How to NOT gain 10 pounds on your next trip
Common tourist scams to watch out for
How to offset your carbon footprint
How to travel sustainably
How to plan a staycation
The table of contents is created to help you find and flip to the most relevant information for your next trip — the book is not written in a way that requires you to read it from cover to cover. (Though if you want to, go for it!)
The book is available as an e-book on Kindle or as a paperback. Find it here, or click on the Amazon image—happy adventuring!
