Do you remember what it was like to travel before the internet?

If you find yourself answering “no” or asking “there was a before the internet?” then this one’s for you – 

Long before people relied on geo-tagged Instagram posts (which, by the way, is a cardinal sin of using the internet – if you find an incredible spot off the beaten path don’t share it, save it), people would travel based on word of mouth.

Eventually, those tips and tricks, the must-sees and the must-dos, the customs and traditions of the regions you were exploring – they all made their way into travel guides that flourished when they made their way into the hands of vagabonds filled with wanderlust.
