This Is Not a Guide Book

This is not a travel guide.
In these pages, you won't hear about the best hotels, get any Top Ten lists, read gear reviews, or have to troll through any unrealistic itineraries.
This book is meant to be a guide in some ways, but it must be stressed that life is a choose-your-own-adventure game. Not everything in these pages will be relevant. Not everything will be captivating for you. Camping might not be your thing. Same for taking a bike tour or wandering around free museums or eating a lot of Ramen or Couchsurfing. No matter. Take what you need and leave the rest. Choose your own adventure and get out there and have fun!
