A while back I said I would address hostel cleaning. I will do that now and throw in some travel tips for good measure.
International Travel Tip #1 – You can find free accommodation anywhere in the world. Just offer to clean for a couple hours in exchange. That’s what I did when I first got to Auckland. I used the money I would have spent on a room on far better causes, like getting drunk and going bungy jumping.
International Travel Tip #2 – Cleaning is hard work. Respect your cleaners. They don’t inhale chemicals for fun like you and I. Stop pooping in the shower or behind the toilet. It’s not funny and we know who you are. You’re either a frat boy or really old.
That’s not a travel tip. That’s a life tip.
International Travel Tip #2 – When you clean in a hostel, you get tons of free stuff. Not because you’re stealing, no no no. Because people don’t plan out their toiletry needs well, and you reap the benefits of that. I have enough shampoo stockpiled to last me until menopause. I have two hairdryers I don’t really use but carry around anyway. I have two bottles of nail polish remover, three bottles of body lotion, eye makeup remover, fancy face wash, sunscreen, toothpaste, tanning oil, cranberry tablets for urinary tract health, etc. etc.
International Travel Tip #3 – You don’t need to pack a rain poncho. Don’t waste your life like that.
To be continued…I promise.
dreams are fine to quit…dreams don't pay the bills or put kalbi on the grill. but you have something more than us dreamers – a brilliant sense of stupid things, a mature immaturity – it's like a breathe of fresh air with just a hint of whitecastle fart lingering in the background. don't quit… who would us dreamers turn to? anyway, with pretty feet, you can just nab urself a sugar daddy with a foot/asian/writer fetish…so many options.
