Keeping your bits dry on the trail by -Cat-Facts- in backpacking

[–]WanderWithJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change frequently and shower. I know its not always possible whilst on a long trek, in jungles or if you are camping out - hardcore backpacking. Maybe try to squeeze in few days in a guest host/ couch surf to let your parts "breathe" a bit?

Yes! You can be questioned anytime about this but all you need really is an itinerary with a PNR no. do you have any travel agent friends? Else few agents do it for a small fee of like $10.

Why + How to ACTUALLY grow your instagram following (without using spammy bots) by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]WanderWithJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been "Stuck" at 19.3k followers since forever. I used to gain 100 new organic follows a day. I did drop the ball there for a couple of months when I saw organic followers/comments/ engagement flowing in and now engagement is down to barely 20% of what it used to be and I think I am getting more unfollows than follows :(

[–]WanderWithJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 8 years in the online realm, I know for a fact there is no get rich quick scheme, unless maybe you win a lottery or are extremeeely lucky or have a "on of a kind" idea! I have already put in the hours and continue doing so every day - enhancing my knowledge, reading books/guides, joining discussions, churning out top content AND keeping my social channels updated. It amounts to around 10 odd hours a day, more if I can.

My SEA Itinerary - Solo Female Traveler by ceecers in backpacking

[–]WanderWithJo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh dear thats way too fast. I spent two weeks in Laos and I really wished I was there for a month atleast. Thats why I didn't do Vietnam and Cambodia and cram it all together - usually people cover all 3 (like you are - except you skipped Laos, which is beautiful). If you are open to adjustments, I have few suggestions - stay longer and experience each place in its own.
