I´m getting annoyed...
... by the sheer number of people who appear to ask for sponsorship from outfitters of all sorts as well as their blog readers etc., claiming they will go rtw for a good cause such as to improve the awareness of the allergy of the blue whale against pink lipstick etc. I mean, is there anyone out there who goes to work, feeds a family, saves some money, pays for the own bike and eventually just sets off into the sunrise, not pretending to save the world but just honestly goes on a personal trip?
Doing something for the greater good does usually not resemble a holiday but involves personal effort and usually some sort of inconvenience instead of comfort; if it smells like vacation, looks like vacation, feels like vacation, sounds like vacation, I assume it is a vacation....
This is most certainly a very controversial statement and I am sure that some people out there have in truth nothing but a real mission they want to take the trip for, those will have my respect and I wish Godspeed then; but am I the only one with the feeling that too many people nowadays believe that everyone else but they themselves should pay for their vacation?
Cheers
Chris
