The most rubbish things you read on travel blogs: (paraphrased)

1. "I came travelling to find myself." (No. 1 embarrassing statement)
2. Since leaving my corporate/high-flying/executive job to go travelling.......
3. I have empowered myself
4. I am soooo brave!
5. Since I landed my publishing deal based on my blog I'm now working on my new novel.....

(and similar self-serving drivel)
