What the Travel Guides Won't Tell You

A short book full of insightful, often highly accurate advice.

Who can go past sound advice like:
- Some Thai women are men.- Some Mongolian men are women.

Or the sad but true:
- Solo females travel with males they meet with the hope of protection. Solo males travel with females they meet with the hope of sex. In nature this is described as a symbiotic relationship.

Combined fashion/safety tips:
- Never wear those floppy ear Inca beanies in South America ... Not under any circumstances. Local robbers just see a neon sign flashing above your head: This guy is a gringo. Rob him.

And transport tips:
- The more shady a South American driver looks, the more helpful and friendly he will be.
