		Anthony-G on June 5, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: If English was written like Chinese (1999) I hitch-hiked around Europe in the mid-nineties (when English wasn’t commonly spoken in Central/Eastern Europe) so I appreciated this story. I stayed in a hostel most nights (unless I was offered a place to stay) so my experience was nowhere near as adventurous as yours. Thanks for the anecdote.

Europe is a great place to start. I did the Camino de Santiago the year before going to China and that was what gave me the courage to go to China.

I'd love to hear an anecdote of your own!
