a global media for 2019. says . this was the 1st time i visited and believe me i was back but also america 21. this was my time to be the hero and look to read about the euro and. those driven. usually in the tribal romanticizing about that. and one day. and in the

markets over the past those involved in uncharted amazon so do other back because the 4 of us leave civilization and penetrate the really uncharted amazon. 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 the rainy season which in retrospect was the worst in penny and. 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 enough to 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 phone far down river they came into the boat to help pico 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 boat in the place where i collapsed the night before they found me. but i was. when i. got the i got the. legacy.

my life was spared and saved but my story and connection to this part of the world just began in fact. 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 you know amazon. more you know you have to look at us i. always think of the whole journey i just think oh yeah. what do i know there were that also so you.

got the world look at you and they just look is the biggest thing that makes all these really come to south america to the jungles because it's crazy everybody want to experience the life of the jungle and the. see and eat and smell him maybe have a little talk like in the book. for me and so full of information your values are. only available to lisa for the 5th what i believe. but i have to like the idea of it as he had to say but. he did have a good i got a year you'll see both. was there all your life saving but i think that probably above the head of all of us is your you want to give you what i perceive a little always will be but. that's example that's all i mean is that you know what

they do. i think. it's very different here at the book and the a.b.s. things are a different guide speaks evil brigade than i do. i'm like a melt. down at a delicate. well i don't top post. but. i was working on the guy just. so i looked kind of the saddest tradition where when .

i heard from my friends in one of i can mainly because he's got their rocks on 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 3 to beaver every guy knows the story and usually every guy makes himself part of the story saying that they were there themselves and they saved me and embellishing and exaggerating and you know like in a very saucy american way enjoying the art of storytelling. we departure about 30 ok in 32 not a cop takes 3 i was too good to demand national park everything ok but 1st language being our campsite transportation guy. every time. you get it

a guy that carry all your baggage it's not just. so it's hard to get on the track pretty much at the state yeah i think so i think you can if you want to and give it time but if you also use a stand the gringo parrotfish you can enjoy it and they certainly use in finance or . stuff. when i hear the word the gringo trail i think dusty unpaved road crisscrossing the entire planet with many details on the way but most of the same characters. it's the blue highway of the global village in some ways it's the word 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 to 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. and i would 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 shrimp pasta dinner and backpacker trail is going to banana pancakes. there's always the same some warning to keep certain things secret and private and for me and my friends and family how does the 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 what i did going to change the moment i put it in the guide book it's going to

change i mean it's going to get over my it's a huge responsibility especially in places like where tourism can really make you know or break it in some ways i feel that even more. we want to say that by us now by bob different. in mombasa by the snake different. oh shine a light. under the cloak. oh i want to go when i'm gone myself a little the hope of meeting. you for the little girl i think i always. look out

for our muslim way aboard don't seem to me over again which of but so on oh i'm sorry i like you have to let me tell you that there's your research. on the world that. you. think you know. the likelihood. that. the folks. i didn't like that was but solution to what made you want to say just go now i'm going to thank you for once i sat. down to tell you. the feeling there you go back to me when you were pulling into your room there my pillows are very cold to this room. like a lot. of

those little things. obviously and then to tell your kid oh. i want a photo you don't look at them in my book you know i looked and then my love for 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 pull up its own ass but all of them or yeah you must. but i look yes. so moira simplemente. then don't believe that the make up on the left wing of the liver hyla but it gets worse and which also lowered the i 3 to see no fight 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. eat eat eat eat. eat eat eat eat eat. eat. the.

you've. done school to the test in a kid. was going to take that book and with it it's just horrific you see. temporizing i read my you didn't muster super radio monocle says it must say more honest than having the runs. there on the lot and it was remarkably you know what you put it is that. the humor like you know instead of it's the next saturday night no that's up to 2 days to put some a program not a c.r.t. to the kids about 730 eastern.

where you know it's for certain that if you don't tease i will need just a comment that is unheard of and it just received lucasian from us you missed it the story a week before the end of this is done we're going to leave it this is that there was going. well sit and look at that. the local relays don't go as if the. why. well. there's only the it was more to learn of the whole and just mustering through their years years ago up to us on the head i am disobedient the quentin warrior.

this is the line you those me those if any i'm quoting commute least that's what i mean book almost. i can see go now like and you know he set out to pick out when i guess have it in a sudden of people's knows this yet paula even knew that a way yes kick out of the north would be his how not one hand he fit in there when up by the prick without it begun northumbrian up until now it was he that is his us who make it a moment in me to come in was without a doubt and also if you see him take on a pike you think on these units point the end. times his is wise and he came one just by say his going in that i was pretty funny. follow him i see our country have a reconnaissance here that's on as much as 90 minutes and come yells a compliment i was there you see santa i got some valid up essential manner that

obvious is how you. give us all to fear it is you stand to have some manners. 10000 is sick on me and it's on as i'm a young man if you're not home i'm gone that's from c.t. on economic t.v. and. we have the good news michael mr soon will call which i got to go to your messages to discuss them you know us and mostly interested but i keep us sort of distance of course since it was in q. and that is. why don't you just tell us what that is but i do want to move to possible yours in

suited to these 2 guys and girls. what are the limits of acceptable change yes there is an economic opportunity here ringback planet 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 cultures 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 mooney 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 needed 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 co-parent again and he said to me no no no no no tourist go pen again 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 then i got off the boat put on my backpack and i started walking. and i walked by thai fishermen and some small thai huts 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 for 5 or 6 hours until right around sunset i got to this point and it was the most spectacular beach than 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 dug out. 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 wish whoa man like where did you come from dude his name was some boom and some boom and his wife choma had worked for the us military during the vietnam war so they hadn't spoken english since then in the head to that all children who lived on this incredible beach ringback 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 mean only travelling there but no travellers 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 rendezvous in kosovo. and i told them about this. this incredible beach you know unspoiled that nobody knew about and that you know i would take them there but. whatever you do don't tell people about this place because what will happen news backpacks. and the small backpack and 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 was like much to spend 3 months in dream and it was these amazing people there this little community he was travelling to see. that's where the backpackers were i got a bungalow at bobo's bungalows it was about 15 baht it's about $0.50 and very quickly realised there was this little community of a couple 100 people with no locks of doors on the bungalows and living very simply and very cheaply here with 100 or 150 people from all around the world that maybe we can't speak the same language and yet we all knew each other when we were one and while you know i was in paradise and i knew it and knew we all knew it. you know that's why more tourists are coming in myself buying trucks from bali and selling dresses and cherry wrap and what you know maybe 8. make up and they are in there for

a while found them off. the fire our. take from it all can drink beer and was boring music. yeah. the best posse's was on the baby age and it was just i remember the 60 people just reading a show and enjoying it it don't seem to summarize how much time the turn up started to emerge like it was us and india are gone and. all the full moon no moon what the morning was ever face to us or got 3 or 4 a month. on the beach and everybody i doubt it and every time kenya looked at. mr kahler knowledge and was very co-operative 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 the magazine and the back page was this photograph of hot written beats the beach that i had been with balances and thousands of people. just like unbelievable it was staggering i think i. i. think. millennium thank you. i think that was the biggest kick off of all i mean the price was absolutely grand. there must be changed i'll tell you people live that night. playing. it

more from the roots of the background. and it doesn't fade most from back breaking the back but. i think i play. let me play. i don't think its highs realize how popular it will become actions changed in the fact that like anywhere if you don't have town planning to begin with if you know it's right. to my i. i i am.

thank you. so this like like it you know for the family they like school drank it doesn't comply get sheeple here will come to be fun to move the body and experience a culture. and i'll buy you one of the buckets. that's the only thing the bucket culture i think 34 maybe 2 or 3 but father said so at one those are red blue and the bottle for me to get the and many straw.

6 in the case of hot rain 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 was asking important questions like what were some of the plastic going to go where's 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 were asking these

questions. that we didn't have the facilities. it's just i've taken notice of this not the. output half towards the toys not knowing what was going to happen and half of it the pharmacy do have a hand. i say listen those are lessons but i think it's very hard slag anything allowed to look ahead and say what you get is a change it's easy to say all of that is so god save. them not make them again maybe at the big one on top on that not in hygiene can not. just today today. the 1986 equivalent of coping on exist somewhere in the philippines or indonesia right now and then seen transforms and burned itself out here and comes back up in

another place.

town is trying to you know slowly you know slow slowly tried to you know you know the law is not ready very fast and lost everything so that's why i will be careful with all culture or unique so whatever we have is a unique to us and to everybody if we piss up a cultural center we can share with the rest of the world this way if we keep really high woman and low impact we looked at models around the wood and also we look at next on the ball and pile and you know there's moss tourism we said no we don't want. what's going to happen there's going to be 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 day. people that have been backpackers in the boss when they were 25 below 25 years of age now they 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 it's coming independent to decide what it was ok we could only multi-millionaire tryer to professor holyrood and those of religion and interested who can afford. it doesn't matter who say it will come out on the submitted they will not and will you continue to the next and they will not allow you to cut the force. in the mid seventy's when our 4th king was coronated as the youngest head of state. people said how should you do that how can you create 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 jeannie but gross national happiness in terms of striking a balance between the material the emotional and spiritual wellbeing of 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 to preserve vision and promotion of the environment that 3rd point is the preservation of your culture without your g.c. i did tittie and last but not least is the establishment of good governance. decease straight stitch the 2nd 3 months so that you gyro the feet into form was measured data. was screened used by a symbolic gesture to gauge the spring. well the 1st step to get different. we didn't have to depend on to see so this way

we can culture the less truths. we can get you to fall through the top we have to also respect our educators to pull the trigger we don't follow you if i know you won't be well then you won't be any more welcome. today's travelers are just crisscrossing the world the greater volume and intensity than ever before so that the map of a planet that looks like

a jackson pollock canvas had previously looked like a great open space and i think more and more travel is not a the realizing that the 1st question they have to us from self is would these people want us to visit them. the f.a.a. . if you know is the most wonderful chain. for law for 30 governors and the producer of most you know able to be governor of the no one at that i really up almost 40 other deal signals better i guess from reveal a similar. thing

. signal for those that are how most of us pull pork. in the almost up altogether got out of control get us in this were pretty girls on the let me thought a lot about the luck of. the electorate almost composed of for me just like my only other concern of my your dislike of the. most qualified look at the end up on the lot of. 3 the almost. nothing. went to these more money how the port of call not yours people call obviously the local meet up with your control model

we did know this place was yeah let me hear it was different in that you have a national i know you found it and then when you get it be written about in this your geographic. but it guides for you know the stuff that's what i read in my knees and yeah you're just. credible you walking along when. you know you may think of you know everything that is really scary from there. howler monkeys today you know how we saw them. 7 or 8 of them literally grains however in the few. pointedly nearly 33. s. one of them per year. most of communes so in the middle. 2 2 east there were no love but he met him but i.

guess levy and. but also you. must be fit in. i was the calm part of. the paulson. book a significant but a lot of them said was. it only that they are walking but i was told. it but i'm not in front of. your book is one of our lives. and this forest there are many tanks every day you can find different things you can still walk to st trial but. you can't find it so you can't. for example in 2004 was find it and you would take monkeys and this forest fill. in with the source you fill in the. mass this. as

a basis to call me in the us for. me whatever. it was that mean things in the your city that was. i had no clue about ecology or eco tourism or biodiversity or sustainable development i didn't know anything about anything i felt i'm there to say thank you and thank them for saving my life. but i learned they educated myself on all these issues i went to washington d.c. raised a 1000000 and a half dollars 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. getting a film that will be in tedious to compete with. you know but up instead of must. have been the only tribe choosing ecology choosing sustainable development because that was the lure of the longer than the lure of the oil exploration and the gold exploration. but when they went resort they went to collage ecosystem level development then diarrhea turned to be a national park that might be the national park. us.

in food. and we were in. control and they were more. i think i think the names. have been if you want to comment on the me you know the then there. is in my uniform support of the navy goes my you are meant to move from us into the novel but i think the. stories that i bring back now are less about trying to show why been the 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 coke and gas 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 hole in the room. was my girlfriend at the time. and though a bunch of travelers and they start the telling the story about your seguin's bergen the survival stories about the us against me is thore was you know like much bigger and i thought jaguars was my finger nails it and were just sitting in them 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 was thoughtful all ask me i think you get that. a. life will teach politics. keep learning my street wait a 2nd for you want to her. to check out facts instead of make ideas shifts to live us. from another reality to cryptocurrency to your topics for live in an ever
