RE: Banged up in an Indian hospital!
Thanks for the thoughtful response! As with most travel bloggers, I generally write in 1st person, but I find it can get a bit boring and dry to read sometimes, and I get sick of writing that way as well. 2nd person is a different way of engaging the reader, but the content needs to be just right; I think equal parts exciting and relatable makes a good recipe for 2nd person writing.
In June last year I set out on a mission to travel from India to Germany without using a plane. While I was laying in this hospital, I very nearly gave in and booked a flight to Berlin, but I held firm, and you'll be pleased to know that I was ultimately successful in my mission after 6 months. Now I'm in Mexico where I'm studying to become an English teacher. I'm essentially a full-time traveller at this point.
I'm on way my to class, but I just flicked through your profile, and you reference Led Zeppelin and Philip K. Dick in your titles, so I'll have to at the very least give your stuff a read on my lunch break. Also, the idea of a fictional and humorous travel blog sounds pretty fun! I really need to get back into the habit of reading fiction, since it's a good way to keep my own writing sharp.
