It’s odd behavior I’ve never seen him exhibit in six years of reading the blog.

I thought his report on how they went to Turkey with the masks and face shields was crazy, and I actually laughed out loud reading it. I can only imagine him being that guy wearing all this PPE gear, moving away from you if you get within seven feet of him, and then having to disrobe all of it when it’s time to eat in J... I just don’t think he really gives an ef what anyone has to say or thinks anymore, and who could blame him? It’s worked out quite well for him.

I am disappointed that he goes on these political rants on a travel blog only to then have his actions totally contradict what he says. Also since there’s nothing to write about now because of COVID, I’m getting a little sick of the constant credit card offers he keeps posting about. We get it, that’s how you make your money. But this is probably to worst time to start dangling points/CC offers now in front of people who don’t know anything about this game. Particularly since we don’t even know what points will be useful or hold any value when we come out of this thing.
I have more or less stopped reading his blog since the pandemic began. Not a lot of good original content. Way too much articles about buying points and credit cards. I get that he has to make money, but it’s a major turn off.
