The funny part is that you are talking about the backpackers on my travels like you aren't doing the exact same thing as them. The point of them talking about the scummiest stays isn't the squalor it's trying to convince people that their experience is more real/better or that they are a more real traveller. You like the things you do. That is great. It doesn't make your travels more authentic than your older relatives though it is just a different experience. And you can get all of those things you desire and still spend your nights in a Hilton. With regards to the writing I have to honestly disagree. Maybe you can't do it but doesn't mean no one can. You are ignoring the possibility that you just have a worse memory or writing skills than a lot of people out there. You assume your travels are more real and apparently you also assume your writing skills and memory are the peak as well.
