Description

Hellholes of the World : A Love Story by David G. Brown. 'We gain few insights into the real dynamics of the world by visiting places that function. It is in hellholes that we learn how the world really is. In the age of mass tourism, aspirations to make voyages of discovery increasingly degenerate into tramping in the footsteps of the masses, with interaction reduced to incessant Facebook pots. How different the experience of inveterate traveller David G. Brown, who set out on the backpacking trail in the early 1980s and in his heart never really left While travelling companions graduated to careers and the comforts of short-haul tourism, Brown developed a compulsion not only to veer off the beaten track, but to go to the worst of places, and to report with wit and insight into the often uncomfortable truths that confront the visitor there. He became, in his own words, a travel masochist, a condition he defined as a deliberate 'aim for countries on the point of total collapse.'
