If you love to travel, you are well aware of all of the things that can and will go wrong on the road. I’m sure through your adventures you have had hilarious “lost in translation” moments, and a slew of cultural blunders. You’ve also probably made some quirky observations about other travelers and their styles of globetrotting. Aside from being enlightening, thrilling, and intriguing, looking in on another culture can also be hilarious.
The comical essence that occurs while traveling is expressed perfectly in Anthony’s blog, The Travel Tart: Offbeat Tales of a Travel Addict. Anthony’s tales aren’t just stories about his experiences abroad, but side-splitting observations about quirky finds in other countries.
Some of his weird findings abroad include a shampoo called “Placenta,” a bottle of lemonade called “Pschitt,” a picture of a couple riding with an ox on the back of their motorcycle, and a picture of a family of stuffed piglets eating in front of a “House of Cheese” in Italy.
In his post entitled “Don’t Cry For Meat…Argentina…,” he glorifies meat-eating with his introduction to the Argentinean delicacy of steak. Over 100 tons of steak are served in just one Argentinean char-grill each year!
His blog offers a variety of travel info in addition to his travel stories. You can get his best tips on travel books, websites, movies, and more. But these aren’t your every-day tips; they are spiked with a comical twist. One of his most coveted technology gadgets, for example, is a fart machine—a guaranteed laugh in any country. He also knows a bit about psychology as seen with his Travel Personality Type post—are you a pisshead or a future chiropractic patient?
He conducts interviews with other bloggers and also features funny guest posts, like his friend who wrote about his run-in with the law when he had an accidental encounter with a male Brazilian prostitute.
Anthony brings quirkiness and knowledge to the everyday traveler, reminding us that travel is full of surprise and comedy at every turn. So whatever your travel fancy, if you are looking for a good laugh, the Travel Tart is where to find it.
