Um, no. Youre not at the same elevation as Cuzco, Peru.
Cuzcos elevation = 3,326 m (10,912 ft). Nearly 1,000m higher.

John makes a good point.
Merriam-Webster defines Hobo: A homeless and usually penniless vagabond.
I mean, really, you just beg for money to continue your travels. The only difference is that you beg online.
Have you ever stopped to consider the multitude of factors that go into the way an individuals life unfolds. Your presumption that these individuals have chosen to be a bum is typical of your ignorance.

Mike--
Youre kidding, right? How about these insinuations that the individuals choose to be bums:
First, the title of the post: Bumology 101: How to be a Bum?
If someone isnt choosing this, then how could they be taught to be one?
How about this one: I believe this young boy aspires to be a Bum...
Would aspiring not be choosing?
And these examples are just at the beginning of the post! Take a closer look. Many more examples abound. But, perhaps, this is my most favorite located near the end of the post:
I guess this is the final lesson in Bumology 101, when a person walks away from civilization and does not know how to return.
When a person walks away. As in, walks away by choice?
And as to your comment regarding hostility? Yeah, when I see people attacking vulnerable populations it tends to make be hostile. Too bad it doesnt do the same to more people in the world.
And I left my comments because there is a comment section. Or is that only for people who agree and reinforce the ol Hobos pre-conceived notions, bias, and ignorance? Only those that agree with him? Or only those that kindly look the other way?
He has his opinion, no doubt, and no one is arguing that he shouldnt have it. Some are simply pointing out that his opinions are flawed.

Hobo is little more than anything but stereotypes. He doesnt learn from his experiences and travel. He simply comes with his preconceived notions and wraps his experiences around them.
And heres a little clue given that you clearly have a difficult time communicating in your blog. You dont have to use the word all to push that assumption.
You write: ...people in India and Africa are not good at bathing, and they often smell.
How about trying something like: At times *some* people I have encountered in India and Africa have smelled. Theres many variations.
But theres even a larger point to be made here. Perhaps its you that stinks. I mean, after all, you are the guest here, right?

I couldnt agree more with both The Doctor and Forever Reader.
This blog reads more like a poorly written Alice in Wonderland sequel rather than any true reflection on someone traveling the world. Does hobo even consider some of the thoughts he puts down? Africans are uncivilized... Everyone has odd behaviors and disrespectful mannerisms except for hobo and his class... People smell and are out to steal... And on, and on, and on. (Que Bob for his routine Stick up for hobo post.)
hobo, the world isnt meant to make you happy, comfortable, or shove what you feel is the appropriate way of life back at you.
So boorish...
