Related articles across the web 3 Reasons Why I Was Skeptical About Thailand (& why I was wrong) I constantly preach that you should make up your own mind about experiences and places you visit. So why did I let other people’s impressions of Thailand sway me so much? For years now I have heard nothing but great things about Thailand – the food, the friendly people, the low-cost, the easy life etc.. and for years now I have put off visiting this incredibly popular backpacking destination. So why did I have such little desire to visit such a seemingly amazing place? In short, for all those positive reasons that everyone wouldn’t...

I’m an optimist, though, and thoroughly looking forward to camping season, which for me begins in two short weeks. There is just nothing like that first spring night outside. The world is so fresh, and the woods always welcome me back with open arms, and hardly any creepy-crawlies. Of course, it’s not all roses and sunshine. Spending the night in the woods in March can be cold, and there are those April showers to contend with.
