The Wanderer
Three nights away, four times a year.
You have a bag that stays half packed and a list of places you are watching for a good fare. You would spend money on being closer to the thing you came for rather than on a better room, and you have eaten alone at a counter in a strange city and enjoyed it enormously. Travel for you is not escape. It is maintenance.

What The Wanderer should read next
Escapes Method
The Three-Night Rule
Four short escapes do more for a year than one long holiday, and they are easier to afford. The arithmetic, the scheduling and the one day people always skip.
Escapes Solo
Travelling Alone, Properly
Not a brave act requiring justification. A practical skill with a structure, and the structure is what turns a lonely trip into a good one.
Escapes Timing
The Month Matters More Than the Place
The same city in May and in August are two different holidays at two different prices. A month-by-month map of when Europe is at its best.
