In a bizarre experiment, adventurers have discovered that traveling without a phone is not only possible but also a thrilling way to experience utter confusion and disorientation. The New York Times recently reported on this phenomenon, where travelers relied on ancient maps, compasses, and the kindness of strangers to navigate foreign lands. One traveler claimed to have successfully asked for directions using only hand gestures and a smile, while another reported using a sundial to tell time. The most extreme case involved a traveler who used a pair of carrier pigeons to send postcards to loved ones. The trend is gaining popularity among those seeking a truly analog experience, with some enthusiasts even resorting to using payphones and paperbacks for entertainment.
