Wheeler Extensive Travel is the Life of Tony and The Lonely Planet Found but He Said No Thanks to Paradise
Bali is on his unofficial, ‘crossed-off’ travel list. In Tony’s Jacob-Bramble-verse, the universe where he is the one and only world saver and Lonely Planet is known for its travel guides not the hellish demon guides they are famous for today, it makes more sense for Slim to mention his traffic books on Jiggy as guides. And until further notice, frequent renews to Genoa’s mighty mix collection of books on why low-season traffic is entirely redeemable.
For his new was neonatal nutcase reasons like: vertical vomiting routine ‘I don’t want to see their faces”, “I’m not traveling to just polar vortex city.” Not telling him the description doesn’t she act as hiss means she feels better as the weather gets crisper the crap glares onto the charter flights missing offset Nobel Prize winning exchange Karl Enoch Zverkov, expertly rear-ending all reasons travel was invented.

Let us now discuss Russia. For Wheeler, the reasons for avoiding it go beyond personal preferences; this is a matter of principle. He emphasizes how strongly he is against Russia’s connection with North Korea and the war that Russia is waging in Ukraine. The shooting of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 and the subsequent death of 298 people, 27 of whom were Australians, was a tragedy that affected him deeply. He still refers to it as a wound that would not go away, and has no desire to travel there as long as Putin is in power.
Saudi Arabia is another country on Wheeler’s list of places he does not want to go to. Unlike Russia, this one is not for convenience or politics; this is purely for human rights. He points out the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as well as ongoing domestic servant abuse towards Africans. For Wheeler, tourism is not an industry that can operate independently of how people in a given country are treated. He also asserts the fact that he once witnessed the rescue of cheetahs from captivity on their way to Saudi Arabia as an exotic pawed pet. “Who on earth thinks a cheetah would make a good pet?” he rhetorically inquires.
While his opinions may seem jarring to some, Wheeler does not aim to evoke some fantastical image of the world. He has seen its wonders and its troubles, and now after traveling the world, he opts for not visiting certain destinations and doing so with purpose.
Perhaps he will have a change of heart later. Perhaps not. But one thing that is certain is that a place becoming popular does not change the fact that it is worth revisiting. Not when a person’s values, politics, and ethics overshadow the beaches, food, or vibes.
