There are a lot of annoying people who write chirpy articles about staying fit on the road and how you don't need to gain weight or lose fitness when you travel. Here's the truth - no one who has any fun when they travel does that shit. We eat a ton, exaggerate how much we've walked and say we'll take the weight off when we get home.
