Run Away To Cambodia

October 10, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 2 Comments

   Cambodia Cambodia is one of the best countries for backpackers in Southeast Asia and I highly recommend it to everyone, even first timers. It’s not just remarkably cheap, but it’s infinitely beautiful too. The landscape is green, lush and glorious. The ancient city of Angkor Wat is unrivaled in it’s authenticity, detail, and sheer size. The people are full of […]

How To Eat Tarantulas & Other Bugs In Cambodia

October 9, 2014 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

After bumping around like jumping beans over unpaved roads for the past 4 hours, the bus finally stopped. Starving, I jumped out and walked towards the rest stop food court. As I side stepped a large metal bowel, something inside it caught my eye. Then I saw them. My legs immediately leapt backwards. There, inside, were at least 30 live Tarantulas! My mouth […]

How To Make A Quick Buck In Bangkok

September 10, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 11 Comments

As a runaway turned budget backpacker, I can’t stop looking for ways to save money, make money, and ultimately travel longer. I always try for discounts because it never hurts to ask. I haggle for everything because there’s always a chance. And I constantly contemplate potential business opportunities abroad. When I was 16 and trying to survive in Cairo, I brought tourists to perfume shops for […]

August 30, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 4 Comments

“Hey my friend, where you goAAA?” said the Tuk Tuk driver with a great big smile. The nasally way he stressed the last letters of the sentence tickled my insides and I nearly giggled out loud. “Yea, umm, I want to go to the palace…and this temple…and the sleeping Buddha. How much?” “I make special price. […]

August 28, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 18 Comments

Running away towards the unknown to start a new life can be bowel churning. But anything worth doing in life usually is. You don’t have to do it the way I did. You don’t have to run away with nothing but a backpack and with no idea of where to go. In fact I wouldn’t really recommend […]

How To Run Away In High School

August 27, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 4 Comments

When I was 15 and a Sophomore in high school, I wanted out. I didn’t have many friends and I always felt like a goofy outcast. I just couldn’t visualize any future in my small New York suburb high school. And I always thought to myself, “I never signed up for this, so why the hell am […]

A Thai Street Market In Photos

August 23, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 6 Comments

You could be in the middle of a dense Thai jungle, on a remote beach on Koh Tao, or in a Bangkok ghetto yet somehow there’s always a street stall within 100 feet. It’s perhaps Thailand’s greatest achievement, and, I’m not going to lie, the primary motivator behind this trip to Thailand. Although there’s a huge variety […]

khao san road

Every time I come to Khao San Road in Bangkok I hear them. It’s hard not to. They make the noise right into your ear, a cross between a smooch and a pop. It’s always been an alluring yet disturbing sound. This trip I decided it was finally time. I answered the call with a triple […]
