The road less traveled by d-bags: Recent Episodes
Steven Mercurio
These are my stories of traveling the globe. Culturally insensitive, yet humanly honest. I will celebrate and demean my jaunts from the wild Clinton years to the present Trump times. I caught this fever of travel after reading Marco Polo’s adventures as a young boy. In the spring of my life, travel continues to keep my powder dry. I was once a free spirit and now possess the spirit of everything I avoided. Commitment, Stability, and Responsibility. Looking back, it was a culturally insensitive road that led me to eventual Nirvana.
I would never recommend getting caught up in an Indian uprising. Especially, if you are on indigenous lands and are not of indigenous ancestry. Take this journey with me throughout my extraction from the violent civil unrest of Puno, Peru. Shit got real for this gringo.
Anyone who believes the healthcare system outside of the USA is better, should listen this horror of my friend’s journey thru a South American hospital.
I was lured to a picnic by some friendly Moroccans. Ultimately, an overheated car engine and a crazed taxi driver would come to my rescue. This was not the first time I contemplated stabbing someone in Tunisia. This is what can happen when you take the road less traveled by d-bags.
