don't do what derek did

Despite being an experienced long-term traveler and nomad with a decade already under my belt, I am still a bad traveler. And you can ensure smoother travels if you Don’t Do What Derek Did. Originally knicknamed “Derek’s Mishap Of The Day” on Twitter until I discovered that #DMOTD already stands for Dick Move Of The Day whoops!

Don’t Do What Derek Did situations almost always documented on Twitter while they unfold in real life, so I highly recommend joining me there if you have Twitter. HIGHLY. I cannot emphasize this enough.

See what all the fuss is about @the_HoliDaze

Remember when I…

Made the film in Indonesia? It happened because of my Twitter fans. Broke the news of the Nepal Earthquake in 2015? I was on Twitter when the shaking began and quickly tweeted about the earthquake a split-second before nearby cell towers collapsed. Went viral in Malaysia? All because of a pro-Malaysia anti-Trump tweet. Live broadcast our two-week race across India? Every exciting event was covered on Twitter and Periscope, Twitter’s live video streaming platform Was arrested in Khajuraho? Twitter got me released the same day. Was arrested in Indonesia A Tweet-War resulted in me being locked up abroad for 16 days then deported. (Even my first week behind bars I kept tweeting!) Was robbed in Nepal and the thief hunt began? That was on Twitter too, albeit a few hours later because the bastard stole my phone.

All that and so much more. It’s hard to describe just how many awkward situations I get myself into. Also a bit sad. But above all it is entertaining!
