I am certainly a "must experience it" before learning it type of person.
A few of note...
* A car on all fours goes farther and is much cheaper to maintain than a car on its side, front or roof.
* You're sure you checked everything on that used car bought in California, engine pressure, history records, maintenance history, but did you check the contents of the engine coolant tank before driving it home to your freezing cold state. Make sure its anti-freeze and not just water next time.
* Pack light, lugging around too much crap because you think you might use it is not worth the mobility of being able to get on and off trains with ease in a foreign country because you can use your boxers as swim trunks, and wash your clothes in a sink.
* Always pack toilet paper with your toiletries bag. There's nothing like trying to determine if that leaf is going to itch afterwards.
* Just because you can, doesn't mean you should (I'm still learning this one).
* Relying on other people is like relying on the weather. Plan for their involvement, but prepare as if no one will show (for example, back-up plan, or rain gear). Don't let other people determine how much fun you have.
