Luke Likes 'The Worst Traveller'

The worst traveller ever. I want to talk in English, obviously, in English, about the worst, the worst traveller ever, the worst traveller of all time. That's me.

First of all, first of all, I don't really travel much, I don't really travel, but when I do, I am the worst, I am really the worst ever. When I was a child, when I was a child, I learned, I learned the capitals of the world, and I love it. And, I'm the worst traveller.

My favourite book of all time, I have it, I have it all the time with me, I carry that with me in my bag, is 'A Lonely Planet's Ultimate Travel Quiz Book'. 2,000 questions about every corner, corner of the world. And, I'm the worst traveller, I am, really am.

Let me explain, let me explain.

Well, it takes me, it takes me ages, it takes me ages to choose, choose the destination, the destination, it takes ages. Oh my god. Then, it takes even more, even more to book the accommodation, the accommodation, compare, compare the price. It takes forever, it takes forever.

Then, time to pack, oh my god. I need everything. T-shirt? Ten, I need ten. Hey, backpack or suitcase? I take both, I take both, yeah really. So luggage, all luggage in the world, all luggage in the world, I'm the worst traveller ever.

Then, the journey, my journey, oh my, oh my. I need my stuff, I need my stuff. I need my cushion. I think I need my sleeping bag also. Even when, even when we are staying in a hotel, I don't care, I don't care. I take it, I take it anyway, anyway. I'm the worst traveller ever.

And then I want to see all, all the tourist attractions, all of them, all of them. So I need my guidebook, guidebook, not the internet, no, no, no. I need my book and go from point A to point B, from point B to point C. I want to know everything. I am so, so, so bad. All the sights, all the attractions, all the monuments, all the museums, all the galleries, just everything.

And try the local food? Nope. I have my food, my sandwiches, my food, my food. And then buy, I buy the cheap, bad, really, really bad, souvenir, souvenir. I want that, I want the cheap plastic, bad, ugly, souvenir. That's me.

When it comes to, when it comes to accommodation, accommodation and the apartment, the apartment, the hotel, I want my bed, I want my bed, really. I want my sofa, so I miss my sofa, I miss my desk, I miss my desk really bad. And the thing that I want the most is to come back, because the best part of travelling for me is to come back. Because I'm the worst traveller ever.

So, don't ever travel with me, don't ever. But I love it, I love it, sure, why not.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
