Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 14509 Joined: 5-November 07 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Member No.: 103914	I was reading this blog today: http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entri...1249595270.html And the guy goes into how he's so awesome because he took the cheap way to Machu Picchu, it sounds rigorous... but what's it all for really? Where do you draw the line between "having an adventure" and just being cheap? Am I making sense with this one? -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara
