Путешествуя дёшево
Писатели часто путешествуют непредсказуемыми и необычными путями. Это, в частности и без преувеличения, справедливо и для Мэтта Гросса, у которого была завидная задача - объехать земной шар за 90 дней, описывая свои путешествия в блоге и ряде статей для "Нью-Йорк Таймс".
В мае он отправился из Нью-Йорка в Лиссабон. В августе он закончил свое путешествие с рейсом из Пекина в Сан-Франциско. В промежутках, он скакал по миру, имея при себе 28- дюймовую тканевую сумку на колёсиках, кучу при чтобы быть на связи, и список избранных друзей и читателей.
Звучит привлекательно, но он не проводил праздно время в трёхмесячном отпуске, соря деньгами. Гросс из газеты "Скромный путешественник", что означает, что он должен работать с ограниченным бюджетом. И, в отличие от отпуска, его время ему не принадлежит.
"Я на греческом острове прямо сейчас", - сообщил он по телефону в июне. (К тому времени он уже прокатился из Лиссабона в Галисию, прилетел в Барселону, перелетел рейсом со скидкой в Италию, сел на паром в Хорватии и проехался на автобусе в Черногорию и Албанию. "Я был бы совершенно счастлив провести следующие три дня на том же самом пляже и есть в том же самом ресторане. Но мой идеальный отдых вовсе не обязательно то же самое, как чей-либо идеальный отпуск. Таким образом, я пробую и делаю все. Я исследую столько пляжей, сколько возможно. Это вид постоянной суеты ".
Со своими редакторами Гросс решил избежать некоторых маршрутов, и целенаправленно включить другие. Он также просто хотел посмотреть, "куда понесёт его ветер". "В действительности, я не могу сократить их (маршруты), потому что, в некотором смысле, я не очень разборчивый путешественник", - сказал он на полпути. "Меня не волнует, куда я иду, я просто счастлив идти."
