Sadly, this post was inspired by an Italian man who was attempting to drive overland from India to Italy. He got stuck in Pakistan, crashed at our place for two months, and ended up owing half a dozen people a few thousand dollars each (which he hasn&#8217;t paid back a year later). His first problem [...]]]></description>

Overlanding refers to traveling by land from one destination to another. It is not simply your weekend road trip, but usually involves a large distance and most of time you&#8217;ll cross more than one country. Marco Polo&#8217;s travel from Venice to China serve as an example of an adventurous overland trip. Nowadays, solo travelers or [...]]]></description>

Pakistan, the &#8220;10th most failed state&#8221; of 2010 according to Foreign Policy. Doesn&#8217;t look like hell to me.

The father dramatically gets some Fair and Lovely cream, and the girl&#8217;s skin changes to several shades [...]]]></description>
