Benidorm Can Be For Backpackers Too

February 27, 2013 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

Many backpackers wouldn’t usually contemplate a holiday in Benidorm, Spain. The fact that this is one of the world’s most popular and largest resorts can be off-putting for the independently minded traveler who likes to do things differently. Going somewhere that the masses choose to go on holiday doesn’t always sit well with someone who […]

Grand Central at 100: A Look Back

February 27, 2013 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

Few train stations have captured the imagination more than New York’s Grand Central Terminal (commonly known as Grand Central Station), which, 100 years after its opening, remains one of the world’s most visited landmarks. More than 20 million people pass through the Beaux-Arts building each year — many of whom do not have tickets or […]

Peed On For The Very First Time

February 27, 2013 by The Runaway Guide 22 Comments

I awoke to what I thought was an earthquake. My bed was shaking violently, and I could hear the cries of a backpacker. O no, here we go again, just like Tokyo” I thought in panic as I prepared to make my escape. But as I gathered my senses, I realized that these were not […]

Response To Fox’s Latest Report

February 26, 2013 by The Runaway Guide 8 Comments

* The following are responses to the most common questions I have received lately. 1) While I’ve read you do not condone or encourage literally running away from home, would you say that in some ways your site promotes it? Yes, my site does promote and even glorifies running away but in the figurative sense. It […]

The Runaway Guide on Fox News

February 25, 2013 by The Runaway Guide 63 Comments

You guys aren’t going to believe this but I’ve made Fox News! And of course their story is as ill-informed and ill-researched as all of their news stories. Here’s what I have to say to Fox and the hundreds who have messaged me I’m very sorry about this situation but I will not be held […]

Best Bars In London

british pub

Few things are more quintessentially British than an outing to the pub. It is an indisputable cornerstone of British culture. People drink when it rains, they drink when it shines, and they also drink at anytime. Yet despite all this drinking, everyone still miraculously manages to get things done. In order to accommodate all these […]

Runaway Rendezvous with Megan The Motorcycling Mamacita

February 21, 2013 by The Runaway Guide 19 Comments

I first met Megan at the Papaya Lodge in El Tunco, El Salvador. From the moment she walked into the dorm, I couldn’t stop sneaking glances.  She had her vintage red helmet in hand, her riding boots on, and a sexy wind blown look on her face. When my curiosity could no longer be contained, […]

Khat: The Adderall Of East Africa

February 15, 2013 by The Runaway Guide 4 Comments

an boy in ethiopia selling a drug called khat

You’ll never believe it, but you can actually find free Adderall in East Africa. Not only that, they are more addicted to it than kids in the US. To be honest though, it’s not exactly Adderall. In fact, it’s not even a generic rx version. Sorry if I disappointed anyone. Instead, the East African Adderall […]

How To Protest Around The World

how to protest in egypt

I look up. A volley of cans are hurling in a high arc through the smoke filled air. I immediately calculate their trajectories and realize they’re heading right for me. With zero time, I leap to safety. The first one lands just a few feet from where I was standing. White gas suffocates the air. […]

Budget Friendly Budapest

February 11, 2013 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

Sure London is lovely, Paris is pretty, and Rome is cool, but what about the cities of Eastern Europe? You hardly ever hear Gina from Brooklyn say, “Hey Marty! Me and the kids are going to Prague this Saturday.” No, it’s almost always Rome or Barcelona. People just don’t realize how cool the cities of […]

How To Travel Without A Plan

February 8, 2013 by The Runaway Guide 16 Comments

I love arriving in a completely foreign country without preparation or a plan. The uncertainty is exhilarating and the sense of freedom is unrivaled. It was in this style that I arrived, for the first time, in El Salvador at 1:30 AM last Wednesday. You might be thinking, as my family did “Why in the […]

Many people who dream of traveling the world take their exploration one trip at a time. But what if there was a way to hop from country to country, all while maintaining a fulfilling career and building meaningful relationships in the process?
