Happy Rupee Holidays a foreword by Jim Rogers

 

 

When people are worried about their jobs, their incomes, about spending money, travel is not really the thing they would worry about. Which is why these are great times to travel. It is because most people are worried about it that they are not travelling, they’re staying home, but if they can, this is the perfect time to travel… You’ll be able to get cheaper deals for hotels, restaurants, airlines…

Most countries with a weaker currency than India’s belong to the Third World and mostly reeling under some kind of a turmoil. But actually it’s not dangerous to go to many countries that people think are dangerous. . . For instance, Angola in Africa is a beautiful country to visit, but people are still very scared of it because they remember there was a war. Now the war is long since over. Usually if you go to a country after a war, it’s wonderful, because it’s very cheap, very exciting, and if you are an investor too, it’s fantastic to go to a country just as the war ends, because there are many many opportunities...So travelling in difficult times is always easy. In fact, when I see some kind of a disaster in a country, it always perks me up because it’s usually a good time to go there.
