I&#8217;ve spent the last few days bopping around Colombia after taking a seat on Spirit Air&#8217;s new route to Armenia, Colombia. This is the Coffee Triangle region of the country so I&#8217;ve been jacked up on caffeine the whole time (just the black liquid pick-me-up, not the other white powdery one.)

If you know anything about Lexington, Kentucky, then two things come to mind: thoroughbred horses and fine bourbon whiskey. Both have a heavy whiff of old money about them, but you can enjoy them on the cheap when you visit Lexington.

I won&#8217;t steal their thunder by posting them all here, but I agree with some more than others. I lived in a suburb of Seoul for a year and while I&#8217;ll agree that there&#8217;s not much soul in Seoul, it does [...]]]></description>

Long-term budget travelers are, by nature, and independent lot. You wouldn&#8217;t be out there backpacking around in the first place if you were trying to fit in and conform to the norm. &#8220;I don&#8217;t do group tours&#8221; is a common stance, spoken or unspoken.

Once a place becomes a pariah destination, it&#8217;s pretty hard to dig out of that hole. Blame it on sensationalist cable TV or our brain&#8217;s constant search for patterns and shortcuts, but once war-torn regions stay that way in people&#8217;s minds even after a decade of peace.
There&#8217;s a great piece on this subject on MSNBC.com [...]]]></description>
