A few recommendations for building character and experience through travel.
1. Travel overland as much as possible.
2. Travel as slowly as is practical/comfortable.
3. Go where few/no people speak English.
4. Never book accommodation in advance.
5. Don't look at your guidebook too much, get out and explore for
yourself - ask the locals for info. It will be difficult at first with no
English but work at the language.
6. Go to places which are not in the guidebooks.
7. Go for as long as possible
Oh and bang a girl or two - but you knew that, didn't you.
To sum it up - get out of your comfort zone.
