Going Crazy While on the Road Lome, Togo West Africa Tuesday, June 5, 2007 Andy of HoboTraveler.com
I call it losing the plot, Alex Garland in the book, The Beach continually alludes to this danger, I think about it, I feel it, and there is always a creeping worry. Will I go crazy?
Here are a couple of comments from people who wrote personal email to me about this real danger. I think they both wrote these comments as something to say, or as or of some sub-conscious knowledge of a real danger.
I have seen many people go crazy from travel, it is not a joke, I am not joking, and this is a real danger.

Why do people go crazy? I could write a 225-page book, full of the many ways and real example, I do not know where to start so I will finish.
