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 […]

How To See A Ping Pong Show In Bangkok

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 […]

A Guide To Street Performing & Making Money On The Road

August 3, 2014 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

I raise the Harmonica to my lips. My palms are so sweaty the harp nearly slides out. My eyes survey the potential audience, a few old ladies meandering by and a homeless guy on an adjacent bench. I can see all the notes and my brain knows exactly how to play them. I exhale into the […]

Runaway Rendezvous With Morgan: An English Teacher In Korea

July 30, 2014 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

On this edition of Runaway Rendezvous, I got the chance to speak with Morgan of Denver, Colorado. Like most 22 year olds fresh out of college, she’s got an enslaving amount of debt. But she’s also got big dreams of running away and traveling the world. She craves perception altering experiences, wants to devour delicious delicacies, […]

They’re awesome cities and great stops on any European tour, but they’re also serious budget killers. Fortunately, Europe is home to […]

The Best Waffle In Sweden & How To Make Your Own

July 27, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 2 Comments

It’s so symmetrical, so golden, and so perfectly complimented by cloud berries and homemade vanilla ice cream that I can’t help but stare in admiration, gratitude and lust. I hover closer, still in awe, when suddenly a warm waft of fried butter, dough, and powdered sugar shatters my stupor. My fork forcefully descends. It cuts off an infant sized piece of […]

You’re stuck, in need of change, and looking for any way out. You don’t want to go back to school or put in another monotonous year at work. You want to travel and experience life in a new land. But rent and living has left you so broke you can’t even splurge on a can […]

Flying On The New 787 Dreamliner

July 18, 2014 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

There’s nothing quite like that moment. The engines are howling, the wheels are about to pop, and everyones heads are bobbling around like fourth graders dying for a pee. It seems to last forever. You think an engine might explode and engulf the entire cabin in flames. You can envision the captains cursing in panic as […]

You Know You’re In Sweden When…

July 12, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 3 Comments

After spending any amount of time in Sweden, you realize that all the stereotypes you ever heard are true. It’s a country full of ridiculously beautiful blondes, masterfully made moose meatballs and functioning alcoholics. It’s colder and darker in the winter than your miserable outlook on life after trying to assemble an Ikea bed. And […]

Who Is The Runaway Guide?
