There is, they say, a big difference between a traveler and a tourist. A traveler goes for the adventure, for the trip, for the experience. The tourist often goes to check off another place on their list or to pick up a cool shot-glass with a picture of where they have been.
At the same time, some of us enjoy sharing our travels and listening to the experiences of others. That is why I am a "Top Contributor" to Trip Advisor:

But, I find that I am an easy grader. When I look at my ratings, I seem to find something good about every new place (or maybe I forget the bad and don't review it). Yet, I find the nit-picking tiresome.
The truth is that the only place like home is home. European hotel rooms are small and the bathrooms smaller still. Disneyland is commercialized. It is hard to find nice toilets in the wilderness.
We are rarely disappointed in things. We are surprised, amused, confounded, bedazzled, but hardly ever disappointed. I guess you have to take my reviews with that in mind.
