    Abstract

    Charles Rahm is a travel blogger travelling the world in his early forties,

    who likes to tackle world travel with a chemical approach and just can’t hold himself back to give his opinion on many things. You can trust him, because he doesn’t look like a maniac and gives you accurate and respectfully written information. His thing is writing travel itineraries, because he thinks that he is well organised and can deliver value. He fits the Swiss cliché as he used to work for a big bank, but stopped doing it, before boredom could kill him.

    How Dont worry Just travel will help you

    On Dont worry Just travel I’m determined to solve these problems for you:

    Give you the relevant travel advice for a certain destination. I’ll come to the point quickly and also give you practical travel tips like how to reach an attraction or when to go.

    With my page motto “Learn how to do your holiday planning when travelling solo” I want to enable you to do your own travel planning be it for travelling alone or as a couple or with friends.

    Here are the resources, that enable you to do this

    Read my travel or trip planning articles here.

    Holidays for one needn’t be a bad experience, so read articles about travelling solo here.

    What my readers say

    “I love your site, especially because you are direct and only give precise information.”

    “This is the first website in over 20 that has exactly what I need!! Thanks Charles”

    “Hi Charles, Thanks for this wonderful service that you provide!”

    “This site is great. Thanks for replying to so many questions.”

    “If I had to give a great example of top quality content, this article would be it.”

    What makes Dont worry Just travel so unique

    First and foremost my personality: A lifetime traveller in his early forties. Obviously everything you will read on here is shown through my lenses.

    During all my education I had an interest in natural sciences, my favourite being chemistry. And in organic chemistry substances, that can be harmless and useful, just need to be altered a little and become poisonous. So with my “chemical approach” I give you precise and clear travel tips about where to go, what to do there and how to reach the place. I don’t want you to have a spoiled travel experience, because I forgot an important ingredient or added an unimportant one.

    Read my articles about travel tips here.

    I like to be clear and give my opinion on things, but I’m not writing about every tiny travel occurrence, as I constantly keep asking myself, what is really relevant for you as my reader.

    Why you should trust Dont worry Just travel

    Faces count, like it or not. That is why I put my picture into this article right at the top.

    Trust can build up, if you read my articles, see, that they make sense and hence like them.

    I’m a straight person and say, what I think. But I learned, that it pays out to be polite. Hence I try to stick to the facts as I can witness them and stay polite. Because I believe that’s the way to earn your respect and trust.

    I write accurate travel advice. I’m not making things up.

    I write respectfully about a location, even if my opinions differ.

    Charles also likes to do funny stuff during his travels like here with the Taipei 101 tower, but thinks, that making the same pose all over the world as branding for a travel blog somehow is “too much”.

    What my thing is

    One rather famous travel blogger says, that as a travel blogger you need to have a “thing”!

    Well, researching and publishing a travel itinerary for a country or a certain area is my thing, as it combines my two passions: Travelling the world and organising things efficiently.

    My travel passion is visible all over this blog. So if you need a holiday just trust me and read all articles on my travel blog. 🙂

    Examples for my passion to get things organised, are:

    Any new technical device my parents bought during my childhood they gave to me, as I could figure out quickly, how to handle video recorders, CD players and similar devices without reading the instruction manual.

    Problems with Microsoft Excel? My workmates always came asking me.

    Finding a receipt to claim a warranty after 10 months? Not a problem for me. Just went to the right drawer and had it in my hands after two minutes.

    What kind of articles can you mostly find on Dont worry Just travel

    My thing: I provide travel itineraries on countries or certain regions.

    Travel advice, how to prepare to travel a certain country, e.g. Java Indonesia travel tips, Thailand travel advice and Myanmar travel tips.

    Travel advice for South East Asia and Europe.

    Charles has also been to the Niagara falls on the Canadian side in winter but so far has been to lazy to write about it.

    Who I am

    I must be insane! I’m a career breaker. I quit my secure job as risk manager in a bank in 2010 to travel through Asia for a year. After my return I tried to find a job again and then, what “I deserved”, happened. The economy was not so good at that moment, so I couldn’t find a job. That seems to be the punishment for someone, who dares quitting his job for a year in his mid thirties. …

    So having the choice between a so called job reorientation or just leaving everything behind and try to make a living while being on the road, I chose the latter one. If I don’t travel I live in Bangkok.

    I’m still waiting for the day to feel regret for having given up my job security. That feeling somehow just doesn’t want to creep up my spine. 🙂

    I’m over 40 years old now. I’m not a backpacker, also not a flashpacker, I’d say I favour independent travel and hence call myself an independent traveller. Wanna hype this up in a cool interview? I’m your man.

    My full name is Charles Rahm, born and raised in Switzerland near Schaffhausen. I grew up in a small village named Schlattingen, that happens to be almost precisely in the middle of the linear connection of two tourist attractions: The old, painted houses of Stein am Rhein in the west – very popular with Germans – and the Falls of the Rhine in the east – very popular with Asians. It is certainly not the highest, but the largest waterfall in Europe.

    I spent some of my loveliest days at the house of my uncle and aunt in England near Bedford. That is why I must write in British English. I hope you can forgive me, that I always write “traveller” instead of “traveler”.

    Charles thinks, that sunsets at the Mekong river are nothing less than magic.

    Charles also thinks, that if you don’t subscribe to the monthly newsletter of Dont worry Just travel and get his free e-book on perfect travel planning as a reward, any kind of help might just come too late for you. 🙂
