In one's youth ,, may be even for less,,, especially if you are beautiful like Lorraine.

I did that for so so many years ,,
From age 19 ,, across the USA ,, Canada,, Europe ,, Most of S.America, Hawaii, Guam, Yap, Palau, Sri Lanka, India ,, Nepal ,,, learned to ski in Tehran ,, teached equestrian jumping, in Thailand and Japan.
For some 6 years. Music ,, culture,, history ,, drugs ,, travel ,, good sex ,, Had all sorts of jobs ,, few misadventures ,, jail time too ,, for I seeked out this adventure, for it was impossible to leave Korea at the time.
It was hard but I never felt discouraged or unfortunate,,

Many times ,, it was women, whom I've met on the road that gave me sweet loving, food and bed ,, and connections in next town,,
Learnt 6 languages in their beds ,, best way to learn a language.

From 80s,, due to my job, lived in London, Dusseldorf, Paris, Monaco, New York and Tokyo ,, and travelled three weeks out of month. Breakfast in London, Lunch in Paris ,, dinner in Milano ,, all over Middle East and North Africa ,, I would hire a private jet from Zurich to Tripoli,, then hitch hike a Hyundai construction company's dump truck,, speaking Korean with the driver all the way to Benghasi at 2AM ,, was my norm for some 9 years. But then it was mostly work.

In 90s and 2000s ,, having become a CEO ,, traveled and worked at my leisure ,, some 6 million air mileage points by now and numerous flights on Concord to Rio, NY - Paris, London- Barbados,, in fact just two flights before the Paris crash was my last flight, on the Concord.

My last RTW on a Harley ,, all together 3 months long (just riding time) , cost me ca $54,000
Meaning I would ride hard ,, find the best 5 star hotel, when ever possible ,, fly first class to next destination, when ever possible,, ate well ,,best wine,, went to see the local opera ,, orchestras,, massage parlors , strip bars ,, bought drinks for local bikers,,, had an escort or two in the room ,, made donations to local charities etc. While with two pairs of undies, sox, two pair of jeans, Panama,, a Zara blazer and John Galliano rain coat. (None of that BMW reiter outfit,, bare chest through most of Siberia,. Love sun too much. For Siberia, carried my own coffee and ramen pot)

Not bragging ,,
I have no qualms ,,, no guilt ,, each to his own.
Ewan did it with a million dollar production ,, Jim Rogers did it with truck load of convoy. I did it on my own.

I did my share of mooching in my youth. I would be shamed to do so at my age.
