Whether you share a cocktail-fuelled pash on the beach with a Norwegian backpacker, a romantic one-on-one sojourn with a French student or a sultry sumba in the arms of a too-hot-to-handle Spanish globe trekker, these are often one-off, fireworky affairs. The Fellow Traveller Crush If you’ve ever met a like-minded traveller on the trip of a lifetime, it’s easy to see why coupling up might seem like a good idea. You’re both single, love experiencing fascinating cultures and exotic locales and share a unique kinship that you’re sure you’d never find back home. Not surprisingly, these types of romances can work. If you’re prepared to face the reality check at the end of the journey, that is. The ‘Getting to Know the Locals’ Manoeuvre If you’re spending a bit of time in the one place, you’ll be no doubt meeting a truckload of locals, many of them single and oh-so alluring. However, steady on with the commitment fantasies. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and it certainly won’t be fun if it’s you. Particularly, if you discover your new love interest is only after one thing – and that’s a meal ticket back home with you. The Globe-Trotter On the Prowl It’s no secret that you’re bound to run into some fellow travellers on your adventures whose life-long calling is to ‘bag a babe’ in every country they visit. Like big game safari hunters, they can sneak up on you and before you know it, you’ve become the next notch in their philandering belts. Happy to be a notch?…

Charles Corbyn was a quiet man. He had no real friends. Never in his life did he feel any need to have interpersonal relationships. Neither did the people around him, for a reason Charles Corbyn had never thought about. It was not because he was unattractive or unlikable. In fact he was a man of very gentle disposition and quite handsome. He had the body of a worker but carried himself as one of high import. Tonight he had decided to go to the pub for his supper. He grabbed his outer coat and…
I talked about how relaxing it produces. Also, how it helps strengthen you and others around you. Visiting another country gives the traveler insight to other type of people which helps you grow from them. There might be negatives within traveling; however, these negatives turn into positives once you realize what they are and overcome them. Some negatives will always be there but the aspect of how the traveler handles it will set if it ends up good or bad. The relationships you gain from…
"A traveler in Crowned Fox woodlands? Quite odd." There an old lady stood, just down the rocky path where trees grew overhead, "Come now, you must be cold out in this snowy weather." "Hmm? You wish to hear the tale of the two broken kings?" She mused as the snowy earth cracked underneath her shoes as she walked, "I suppose that it won't hurt to tell a tale." She opened the door to a small hut and gestured inside, "Sit down my friend and I shall tell the tale..." The old lady sighed as she sat…

With some in search for resources, and others in search for the meaning of life, the universal pattern regarding a journey merged into the search for knowledge. Cavafy echoes this sentiment in his poem Ithaka which communicates that you will be “rich with all [the knowledge and experiences] you have gained” after arriving at your destination. Like the promises made in the poem, Alexander von…
My style model is in the genre of travel writing. The overall text is a combination of short sentences which are linked together with various cohesive techniques. The text is an individual's journey, in present tense, through the Beijing desert and the events which happen during the exploration. I have reflected this in “Burnt Happiness” by recalling about my travels through Madeira and the emotions that occur from the rich to poor side of the Island. My writing is similar to Ma Jian in many…

Many people wish to travel the around the world and meet new places. I would say that the destination you are going to is important, but who you are going with on the trip is crucial.

Two characters that would make great traveling companions would be Montresor from “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe and Arnold Friend from “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” by Carol Joyce Oates. They would travel to…
