An Ode To Imodium

If you have ever experienced the dreaded “Delhi Belly” while travelling or had a case of the shits while camping or climbing mountains; you may or may not have been rescued by the mighty little white table called Loperamide, sold under the brand name of Imodium.

It has saved me from some very crappy moments on the road so many times that I decided to write an ode to Imodium, a love poem of some sort in its honour:

Oh Imodium, the peace thou bring
Gatekeeper of my fickle ring.
Bacteria; why do the powers employ?
Only here to steal my joy.
Alas, you’re there to fix this farce
Sweet saviour of my runny arse.
Parasites no more because of you
Hours away from a proper solid poo.
Blessed be me that you’re my chum
To seal the fate of my globe-trotting bum.
With you by my side; no evil I shall fear
Beloved Guardian Angel, of my capricious rear.

Planning a Trip? Travel Resources Below:

The following handful of resources and articles are the starter pack for anyone about to leave for their upcoming trip. Consider this your cheat sheet after 14 years of travel on every continent.

Searching For The Best Flights

For the past decade, I have found Skyscanner to be the best site for quickly finding and comparing flights to your desired destination. Click here to search for the best prices and compare flights without any fuss.

Booking Accommodation

When I travel in Asia, I tend to use Agoda. Wherever else, I use Booking.com, as these two sites have the best filter system and rates on the web.

When I started, I was on a tight budget, and Hostelworld was my friend. I still use it when visiting more adventurous destinations.

Know Before You Go:

    • Stop wasting precious time by looking for SIM cards in every new country. Get an eSim with Airalo before you arrive at your destination!

    • Grab discounts on main attractions at selected locations with Klook.

    • Protect your data, stay safe online and access content from anywhere with NordVPN. It’s my go-to for secure browsing while travelling!

Never Leave Without Travel Insurance!

It’s just not worth the risk. I pay $15 a week via subscription that I can cancel anytime, and they cover me for some very adventurous destinations! Read my honest SafetyWing review here and get a quote on their website.

Want To Start a Profitable Lifestyle Blog?

To say that starting a blog “changed my life” would be the understatement of the century. It has given me freedom, enriching experiences, and the ability to generate a six-figure online business.

Hi, I'm Anthony!

In November of 2010, I took on a mammoth challenge against the clock in a quest to upgrade my miserable life. I went out of my comfort zone and turned it all around. Ten years later, I’m completely location independent…
