Would you rather go on an escorted tour of a new city or explore the city on your own?
I much prefer the romanticized ideal I have of myself off exploring foreign and exotic lands, meeting people, and enjoying the authentic local flavor; but let me be clear here: I know me - I need a guide so I don't miss the proverbial forest for the trees! While I'm off holed up in some local baguette shop in France trying to act tres cultured over trois cafe au laits, I lose all sense of time and miss the Champs Élysées. lol, I know me. I have experienced me when left to my own devices. It's a grand time at the time, but....

Would you rather live in an icy igloo in The Arctic or live in a steamy open air hut in the Amazon?
