The global engineer [Time Out Travel]

WHAT'S happened to our spirit of adventure? A few years ago, we'd risk waiting until the last minute before booking our flights and reserving our rooms. We didn't care if we hadn't seen a layout of our hotel accommodation or didn't know the exact route we'd need to take to get to it from the airport. We'd busk it. We'd find out how to navigate a new town on arrival. We'd be pleasantly surprised to find our hotel was more central than we imagined. And we'd be faintly disappointed that there wasn't enough space around our narrow bed to lay our suitcase flat.
