Breaking the law whilst traveling

Has any of us never been tempted to trespass the law while traveling? Well, you may throw the first stone, but I highly doubt you’ll still think you’re so shameless by the end of this article.

We tend to associate travel with leisure, pleasure and fun…and rightfully so! Traveling is all about discovering new places, making new experiences, being adventurous and bringing awesome memories back home! So it’s only normal to be tempted to break one rule or two – yes, you’re NOT allowed to swim in this waterfall. Yes, we know you’ll get an amazing picture, but STILL.

We feel more adventurous by literally walking off the beaten track, by driving a bit too fast because we know there’s no radar around, or by bribing that officer to get our visa sooner. It’s part of the trip experience and it’s even a little exhilarating: it reminds us of the times of pioneers, of these cartoons we read as a child, of the Far West, when there wasn’t really such a thing as the law, and when, ultimately, men were free to make their own decisions…
