That Backpacker
A travel guides hub by Audrey Bergner, with stories, cultural essays, food and itineraries. Useful for backpackers and others planning longer trips.
Itineraries and first-hand guides from a long-time solo backpacker.
The potted cactus
A prickly friend waits by the path, offering the gentlest welcome a desert can manage.
The wicker basket
A sturdy basket sits by the side wall, ready for whatever treasures the road decides to hand over.
The domed roof
The rest house wears a soft dome, which keeps the sun off anyone who stops for a long drink of water.
The road sign
A sign over the door shares the stop's name and points, cheerfully, to somewhere delightfully far.
The road-facing windows
A window sits on each side of the door, so nobody passes without a friendly wave.
