I had never met a bed bug until one afternoon in Kuala Lumpur. In the past eight years of extensive travels, I had heard many a tale about the terror of bed bugs. How they had ruined whole trips! And more seriously how difficult it is to get rid of bed bugs.
For those who haven’t really heard about bed bugs but don’t fancy a bug in the bed, they are more than just a harmless bug. They are the back packers nemesis.
Luckily, I have been blessed with the ability to talk to anyone. Hence, I don’t seem to have problems making new friends or making friends whilst travelling. However, not everyone is like this and I thought I would write a post about some of the ways I make friends whilst travelling.
