SOBER TRAVEL TIPS FOR DRY JANUARY 🙌 "There's nothing I hate more than a hangover," says Lonely Planet social media director Deepa Lakshmin, who quit drinking alcohol over three years ago. "I used to associate backpacking with rowdy bar crawls and swapping stories over beers in hostels, and I romanticized piña coladas on the beach and Spanish tapas paired with wine, but I've found that for me, travel experiences are richer when I'm fully present in them." #dryjanuary #alcoholfree #sobercurious #
