yes. i was here when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room for her nights and. it was hard i was fair. i even got white hair. language head nodding off just gets me and pick up much mickey to try and say you want to know their story the muslims are fighting and reliable information for margaret. says.

1981 this was the 1st time i visited and believe me i was backpacking swats also america was 21. and this was my time to be the year 0 and up to read about the euro and. i was driven to be moses and unusual in the tribe. romanticizing about that. and one day a man in the markets of the past does about the uncharted amazon so as do other backpackers the 4 of us believe civilization and penetrate the real uncharted imus . of course is no map of the region and we're trying to cut our way and follow reversed and what initially was supposed to take 10 days takes a few weeks in a rainy season which. in retrospect was the worst in 10 years.

2 weeks later after the floods i just was completely exhausted and i couldn't walk anymore because my feet would not carry me because they were just wrong there was no skin just flesh exposed and left weeks alone i felt the lure of this. my rescue was a miracle were kevin was his commitment to arrange a search party was villagers fall far down river they came into the both wealthy negotiate the challenges of the river now we're talking 120 miles of river into uncharted. but unbelievable coincidence as they start to turn the book in the

place where i collapsed the night before which they follow me. if it's a battle they only look for traps you don't want but have all of the feeling that i've got things i bought on council while i while i got the i got the. i have also i don't think i somehow don't feel sorta like what. my life was spared and saved but my story and connection to this part of the world just began infinite. leak.

i wrote a book about my experience and the book was translated to many languages and backpackers from all over the world started visiting didn't believe me and i was a. more you know you have to sell you have to leave it as have you a $1000000.00 to get the whole job i just think oh yeah i'll see what i know there were that also so you have. got the world look at you and. they just look biggest thing that makes all these really come to south america to the jungles because it's crazy everybody wants to experience the life of the jungle and the. see and eat and smell and maybe have a little touch like in the.

financial solvency of your body so. i mean i'll go to lisa for the fearful to leave . but i will if you like both of you have a say but a joke if you need a public boat out there you'll see both. was there all your life and i think that's probably about the head of one holding the video you want to give you want to call him a will always be him but. i think that if about salamis that you have one more bit of. i think. it's very different and you wrote the book in the a.b.s. you're a different guy speaks hebrew brigade than i do. you .

remember. i'm like an elder looking down at it like. i don't top post. but. i was working on the guy just. so i kind of said this tradition where what. i heard from my friends in one of i can mainly because he's not there works on the i and other visitors the entire village you know becoming a jungle. part of its growth is based on the book and the story and it's an industry on the song and dugout canoes go every day of the week to be very every

guy knows the story and usually every guy makes himself part of the story saying that they were there themself and they saved me and then belushi in exaggerating and you know like in a very saucy american way enjoying the art of storytelling. we departure about $830.00 ok in 30 tonight a cop takes 3 hours to get to them at the national park everything ok but 1st line should be now you can cite transportation guy everything. to get it a guy that carry all your baggage it's not just. that hard to get on the track for this yeah i think so i think you can if you want to give it time but it's there also is a stand the gringo parachute that you can enjoy and mixers and using fun stuff. still. you know.

when i hear the where they're going to try it out i think of a dusty unpaved road crisscrossing the entire planet with many tools on the way but most of the same characters it's the blue highway of the global village in some ways it's the red parallel to the one in which people who need to get something done moving and it's a way for people who want to get lost and who don't necessarily want to get anywhere but who for whom all the joy is the journey and not the destination. backpacker travel is predicated on the idea that you're doing something different than the mainstream tourist but a lot of their patterns are similar to what the mainstream tourists are doing. don't be snarky about that it's just how people end up you know people end up

seeking out certain manifestations of home and in luxury hotel it's going to be a nice trip pasta dinner on a backpacker trails going to banana pancakes. there's always a sense of wanting to keep certain things secret and private and for me and my friends and somehow there is then other side of me that says well i'm relieved the place is so great i should probably include it in the book but i know that it's going to change the moment i put it in the guide book it's going to change and it's going to go to over a month it's a huge responsibility especially in places like bolivia where tourism can really make you know break it in some ways i feel that even more.

we want to say that by bus now by bob different time is me on the. screen my boss the snake different i. o. shine a light. that would expose. me to oh what i want to know when i go in that's just a little the open if. you want the world i think you're likely. to let up a little over a muslim one of those in the bubble the male brigade which is but so on oh i'm going to like let me tell you that there's a there's research that. come across that i told. you. that you know that you will. i don't know if you could.

put it that. the but i think what you like the hardest part solution. but what i do want to thank i was just going to have an international force i thought said no. thanks i'll tell you. anything you ok let me show you where bullets in your the regulation they're told to 0. 000000. 000. 000000. 00. $0.00 you get all kind of the name of the killer that are left in the field by him which will enable until some time one month more and more choice so they can make. that a little bit about again when all the. way to put up its own ass but all of them or

yeah i you must quote him up on the scene in the bottle of yes the moist implement they. then don't believe that the make up on the left. but it gets worse and which of course alone the why 3 c no 5 on it. it really boils down to educating all travelers whether that traveler is a wealthy individual on a luxury trip or whether they're just setting out for the 1st time as a college student with a backpack on remembering that proverbial cliche we are guests in another culture. it's.

yeah yeah. the ether. the. decor tons completest in a kid. was going to take up book it was it is just horrific he said.

this is a group of temporizing i lead my youth to demasi super radio one of the most a more honest guy having the runs there on the road and it was be markedly no one with anything. yet to hear aquino insularis next friday night you know i started to these people commit some a program to 2 kids about 730 eastern. whether you're a force or to let it be done to save all that which is equipment that is in the final you can see that the suv was the infamous you mr it was for you i'm going to be in the sit down we're going to leave it this is don't you know me that that was going. full sentence the concept. that one of the local relays don't go i see if that. is. why.

well tell. me that love was much alertness and i had to haul and just must have been through there yes i got up there yes and i had to i am disobedient because. this is the man you don't mean last good and young 20 come you 3 steps quite i mean being back on my ass. i can see the man that can't you know he's have to pick out when it gets half it such as the horse knows this yet but not even he had a way yes it got ugly nor with the least how not one hand if it and they went up by

the park without it bacon or them be enough i don't know because you don't exist us making a moment in your music i mean is whether that most of you see and think or packing you think on the soonest plan why didn't. you toss this is why i said making more space at his command i yell as follows weight is pretty funny. but i must have a way you can know since you have that's on as much as i knew my lips i'm coming for the family and i was there your seats and i got some now that the sense of manna that obvious is how you. yes all. you spawn time and time man is. 10 times as sick on the other hand it's one as i'm a young no one except you might not have anonymous who seek only time in t.v. and. who have the good news or comments to assume or call which are getting over your messages to these to us from you know yes i'm mostly interested but i can do

a sort of distance of course since to be to meet you. why don't you just tell us and that is what i do well sometimes it's a possibility i was in seat at least he thought i usually cause. what are the limits of acceptable change yes there is an economic opportunity here ringback planted in such a way that the beauty of this area of the environment is a destroyed that there is an economic benefit that comes in but not at the cost of destroying culture or the land around this particular area. what is our

environmental footprint what is our impact on the very culturally that we're visiting the very things that really were selling at the end of the day tourism is about selling nature and cultural heritage. i just want to get away from it all and i was hoping to find some place unspoiled. i had heard about this island called chris moody in southern thailand which is island in the middle of nowhere this is back in 1979. and i got on the boat and as this movie came into view and we pulled up to the dock and there was a backpacker's on the boat mind you not that many probably felt 12 or 15 people but

on the dock there were about 6 tie guys there come stay at my bungalow come stay at you know my place and you did this restaurant i'll take you to a good place to stay and i was so disappointed i was like no you know i don't i don't want this anymore so i went to the captain of the boat and i said we're do you go next and he nodded his head like that and i looked up and i saw this island on the horizon and i said what's that he said copay again and i said i want to go to cope and again and he said to me no no no no no tourist go pens and nothing for you but you don't understand i said to him i want nothing i'm looking for nothing and all the backpackers got off we sailed over to cope and dan and i got off the boat put on my backpack and i started walking. and i walk by thai fishermen in some small thai hut there were

a couple of young girls and they looked up and they screamed when they saw me and they ran and i just kept walking and i musta walked i don't know 456 hours until right around sunset i got to this point. and it was the most spectacular beach that i had ever seen i mean like just dramatically beautiful and i was stunned. and there was a thai fisherman sitting on this beach and he was cleaning the barnacles off of his little dugout. and suddenly he looked up and he looked at me and he looked really startled and he said in this perfect time warp 1960 zinged which womb man like where did you come from dude his name was some boom and some boom and his wife choma had worked for the u.s. military during the vietnam war so they hadn't spoken english since then. and they

had to little children who lived on this incredible beach this incredible beach called hot ridge and they opened their doors and i stayed with them for a month and it was paradise. not only was i me only traveling there but no travelers were going there period they weren't there yet. there had been a german couple who i had met in northern thailand months before and we talked about ron de flowing in kosovo and i told them about this being. the same crowd of old beach you know unspoiled that nobody knew about and that you know i would take them there but asked like what ever you do don't tell people about this place because what will happen news backpackers or another going.

at least a backpacker i didn't have very much money and i was looking for some adventure and i was looking for something. i met a young man who is likely to spend 3 months and adrienne and has these amazing people there this little community it was a traveling scene. that's where the backpackers work i got a bungalow at bobo's bungalows it was about 15 baht about $0.50 and very quickly realized there was this little community of a couple 100 people with the locks of doors on the bungalows and living very simply and very cheaply here with 10150 people from all around the world you need and

speak the same language and yet we all knew each other we were one and while you know i was in paradise and i knew it i knew we all knew it. you know that's why mulcher is becoming myself buying drugs from. ali and selling dresses and sherry let me see what if you know maybe you could make up and realize you know me for a long pal in the mall here to give you our. thanks to all who can drink beer looking for a new. job yeah. the best parties was on the baby age and it was just i remember the 60 people just really meeting enjoying it it don't seem to summarize how much time the turn comp started to emerge in a good few hours us in india are gone and. all the fun to moan no more quote the

moan about ever face to us i've got 3 or 4 months. on the beach and have everybody i vowed to play and have done. mr crowley not doing this very closeted in the beginning because they were glad we were there nobody else wanted to be there and they were making money. in the early 1990 s. i opened a magazine and the back page was this photograph of hybrid beach the beach that i had been at with balances and thousands of people. just like unbelievable it was staggering.

the. millennium. i think that was the biggest kick off of all i mean the price was absolutely grand packed they must've been seen profound zookeeper there that night. it's moved from the roots of the back fence. and doesn't save most from back breaking the bank beckoned to. me. i don't think it's his' realize how popular the calm actions changed in the fact that like anywhere if you don't have town planning to begin with if you know it's

right. all so like i get you know for the full month the less food trying to get by gets cheaper here we'll come to a party to move from one body and experience of culture. i go by. buckets i mean that's the only thing that the bucket culture i think it's very important maybe to us here but so far the same so at one those are great and big

but also call me to get that and many strong. 6

in the case of hot written you know there was no development plan tourism should have never been allowed to take place the way it did it was anarchy it was a free for all there was nothing to guide it who is asking important questions like what words all the plastic going to go where is the waste going to go where were people going to go to the bathroom it's all just going to end up on the beach it's all going to end up on the water 30 years ago people weren't asking these questions . and we didn't have the facilities it's just the title mills and this is not. how to put it afterwards it ties not knowing. what was going to happen and half of the pharmacy to come in. i think this lowe's or lessons but i think it's very haunts like anything in a well to look ahead and say what you can see is a change it's easy to say on the sofa i'll sit down and not make them again maybe

at the fix on on call fun in hygiene cannot. see me doing. the $1986.00 equivalent of coping out exists somewhere in the philippines or indonesia right now and as seen transforms and burns itself out here and comes back up in another place.

and time is trying to you know slowly you know slowly slowly try to you know you know the law is not ready very fast and lost everything so that's why i really careful with all culture so what or what we have is

a unique to us and to everybody if we have this of a culture that said we can share with the rest of the world this way if we keep really high i love them and know in fact. we looked at models around the world and also we looked at next on the ball and thailand there's moss to resume we said no we don't want that. what's going to happen to this business the development of bars clubs prostitution centers massage parlors and everything is going to be good to its tourism where people are going to lose their identity their culture. people that have been backpackers in the boss when they were. 25 below 25 years of age now make sure they've evolved and they've been there done that seen the world and they're looking for a different experience so they choose to come to the top. we don't really know the justice but because we're just coming independent to this what if we could only multimillionaire tryer to professor. and those.

interested who can afford. doesn't measure up to several times what i want to submit to you cannot and will you continue to do that and they will not allow you to cut the force. in the mid seventy's when king was coronated as the youngest head of state. people said how should you do it how can you increase your g.d.p. and he was a visionary he said no i want to increase my people's g.h. and people say what is gene but gross national happiness in that striking a balance between the much of the emotional and spiritual wellbeing off its people so we follow the genie tree which is a middle path and it's based on 4 main pillars one is sustainable development the 2nd point is a position and proportion of the environment the code point is a preservation off your culture without your culture you do see identity and last

but not least is the establishment of good governance. to be a secondary it's. the feet in the form all measured data. being used by a symbolic to subdue to spring. well the 1st set of different incomes we didn't have to depend on. so that's why we. culture listen to this. we could be true to fall through the. we have to also respect our educators of all of the educators who don't follow you if i know you won't be welcome on be any more welcome.

to. today's travelers and just crisscrossing the world to greater volume and intensity ever before so that the map of our planet looks like a jackson pollock canvas had previously looked like a great open space and i think more and more travel is not is a realizing that the 1st question they have to ask themselves is would these people want us to visit them. you're. young and. eat.

eat young eat. if you're not is the most wonderful chain time again. for the last 40 gallons in the bodies of molten metal spilling of one of the no one i thought i really up for my story other josue going to be ok i guess i'm going to be the last sinner. the ng a. week to be in the foothills at all how most of us will fulfill all these photos looked in the immortal up altogether got it will get us in this will pay the bills when they let me tie them up all of a bundle no luck. it's

looked at almost for me doesn't my only other concern of my oldest like a local one of the most qualified located in a bundle not of luck 3. it's also that he almost got it out of worry i. won't lose more money how the port of call not a us federal court obviously on the local me up will be a controlled model. we did know this place whose year i make it was to contribute. did you think about international law and i know you've done it and then really that it's been written about in the graphic as those who race and talk about it. but they've got to know their stuff as well they really are amazing yeah you just credible you walking along when they say. you know you're a sort of that you have been saying that it's really scary from there that we saw

some howler monkeys today you know how we saw them that there's a 7 or 8 of them literally grains however in this. point released a new look laden group. was one of them per year. commune so in the middle. 2 east there were no laws but a man and embrace us kamani us and bolivia. but also you. must be fit in. i wore the. uniform. ok significant but a lot of them said was. it only that they are walking but i was told. it but i'm not in some type of thing if you call your book is one of the only thing . and this forest there are many tanks every day you

can find different things you can still walk the same trial but. you can find new things. for example in 2004 was find new tape monkeys and this forest fire. still source you feel indeed. be able to. match this. much as a basis to commune the syllabics for . me what i look. like was it was you it was that. your city.

i had no clue about ecology or eco tourism or biodiversity or sustainable development i didn't know anything about anything i felt i am there to say thank you thank them for saving my life. but i learned to educated myself on all these issues i went to washington d.c. raised a $1000000.00 brought it back to the region and i wasn't an ngo i was just representing the people and i got the money so it was the bank. into american development bank financing a village in the middle of the amazon this was unprecedented. for theming. it was getting a storm that will be in pain just sitting for me you know just yellow and you know but up well it was kind of muscle. having the only tribe choosing ecology choosing sustainable development because there was the lure of the longer than the lure of

the oil exploration and the gold exploration. but once they went resort they went to collage ecosystem level development the entire area turned to be a national park that might be the national park. in. the mornings and we were. just one of them controlling their own means more. ice is going to be financed. beneath the water. i mean if you know the government then they're not going to. us for the need to go and my you know meant to move from us into an awful lot of the.

stories that i bring back now are less about trying to show i've been to places that haven't changed it's actually coming back with stories about what those places are today in all of their manifestations. it's over 30 years since i was at coping again and there are co-pay and dance and hot rins all over the world that have suffered the same plight. but you know what it's not too late maybe for some places it is but it's not too late for other places.

i was once in the only in the room. was my girlfriend at the time. and though a bunch of travelers and this thought that then the story about the office again is the bergen the survival stories about the us against me. is thore was you know like much bigger and i thought was was my fingernails that they were just sitting as i am and listening and listening and listening and finally when they finished i just pulled out my passport and i gave the main story teller i gave him my passport the open my passport they looked at it then he raised his eyes with total all asked me out did you get. a.
