What better way to start this blog than with Paulo Coelho’s advices on travelling differently.
The tips apply to all kind of travelers, but we like to think that the way of seeing places suggested by Coelho apply particularly to Flashpackers. After all they are a very independent kind of travelers, they avoid organised tours and really want to connect with people and culture of the place they’re visiting.

The 9 tips Paulo Coelho gives us on Travelling Differently are:
1. Avoid museums.
2. Hang out in bars.
3. Be open.
4. Try to travel alone or – if you are married – with your spouse.
5. Don’t compare.
6. Understand that everyone understands you.
7. Don’t buy too much.
8. Don’t try to see the world in a month.
9. A journey is an adventure
Check out the whole post here. After all as the author says travelling was (and still remains we’d like to add) the best way of learning.
