10 Reasons Why I Suck As a Travel Girlfriend

–A hilarious blog post at http://www.nomadicchick.com/.   A must read!

There could be good reason why I’m single.

1. I always pick nonsensical, dangerous destinations where you could be decapitated or kidnapped for ransom.
2. I snore.  So loud you’ll open your eyes expecting a 300 pound truck driver next to you.  It’s ten times worse when I’m inebriated.
3. I’ll always make you taste a dish first, in case of parasites or hair.
4. If I even catch a glimpse of a rat, and let’s face it rats multiply across continents, I will shatter glass with my screams, thereby embarrassing the crap out of you.
5. I’ll force you to carry the heavy gear.  Cause I’m cute and can get away with it.
6. My sense of direction is tragically bad, which leads to hilarity and serendipitous encounters – NOT.
7. My bladder is the size of a kidney bean.  Example: I demanded that a Thai bus driver stop in the middle of nowhere so I could take care of business during a precarious ride towards the Cambodian border.
8. If you hanker for an erotic massage after a long day of traveling, forget it.  My ex use to call my fingers bone spurs.
9. I tend to wander aimlessly in markets.  Welcome to two new emotions – annoyed and frustrated.
10. Self-catering?  What’s that?
