Backpackers Walk O’Shame
- Image via Wikipedia
All too often on my 6am starts at the Arts Factory Backpackers Lodge I witness the Backpackers Walk O’Shame. If you have personally not been apart of it your self you have almost definitely witnessed this strange phenomenon.
This very morning a strange car pulled out outside reception and out fell two beer cans, an almost empty sack of goon and one girl with samps and wristbands from Cheeky Monkeys, Cocomangas and The Beach Hotel. It was fair to say gravity was definitely not this girls friend today as she stumbled towards me behind the desk and whimpered something that sounded like ‘coffee?’
I don’t mean to sound as though I’m judging this young lady as i myself have also stumbled home in last nights alcohol soaked clothes, cuts and scratches that i have no idea of how they have magically appeared and a headache that could kill a small animal.
Make sure you read this on How to Keep your dignity when doing the walk of shame! 
The question is now WHY do we do it to ourselves…that’s the easy part…IT’S FUN!
Yes, going home with a Jessica Alba/Leonard DiCaprio look-alike SEEMED like a great idea,
Yes, waking up next to a more Susan Boyle/Danny Devito type happens from time to time.
And No, your friends will most likely not give you sympathy for this….quite the opposite in fact.
However at this stage of your night/morning you simply do not care. All you want is bed and a guarantee cure for your hangover. I have always loved, respected and looked up to my faithful treatment of blue Powerade and salty corn chips to pull me the through the hard times, But is there something better? Something out there so potent hangovers simply disappear instantly?
I know you have your secrets and I, and most likely everyone else reading this, would love to hear your stories and remedies to cure to dreaded hangover. looking forward to hearing them.
Happy Travels
Ryan
