Sleeping rough

Ah, the last resort of the traveller, the safety net that leaves your back out of alignment, the experience that will help you overcome whatever was annoying you about hostels. At some point, it’s likely you’ll spend the night on a park bench or in a train station or airport lounge.

Even if you never do, it helps mentally to brace for the possibility. You probably won’t be the only one doing this, so when it looks inevitable, start trying to secure a good spot. What’s a good spot? You’ll know it when you see it, if there is one. Not too hidden, not where people have to step over you, not right under bright lights. Corners are usually quite nice, and frequently coveted. You may be inadvertently borrowing the resting place of a “regular” – so be forewarned that many of them don’t take kindly to this. Look for newspaper or cardboard to place under you; a cold marble floor will drain your body heat and make it difficult to rest. If you’ve got a travel partner, take turns staying awake. If not, make sure you’re bear-hugging your backpack while you sleep. Alternatively, look for an all-night snack shop or bar and sip tea or coffee until the sun creeps up, then find a more comfortable place to sleep at a park or a beach.
