I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 412. Today the Amateur Traveler episode 412.

Today the Amateur Traveler talks about sun, surf, and seafood, but with a Mexican flare as we go to

Mazidlan, Mexico. Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Before we get

into this week's interview I do have two new stories for you. The first one is

an interesting program from Via Rail Canada.

If you're looking for going across Canada and you happen to be a musician, have they got a

deal for you?

You can get a free ride from Montreal to Halifax or Toronto to Vancouver if you agree to play your music on the train.

That is not to play from a boom box but do a live performance on the train.

There did not seem to be any stipulation that your music had to be train

related. And an interesting story coming out of Hungary, taking photos without permission is now

illegal in Hungary. Photographers as you can imagine are outraged.

Unlike in the U.S. where if you are in a public spot and you have as the courts have determined

no reason to consider your activities are private, in Hungary you always need permission to take someone's

picture. Think about that if you're planning on traveling to that country. Links

to both those stories in the show notes at amateur traveler.com. I'm going to use

the sponsor spot today to remind you of the upcoming amateur

traveler trip now this isn't for a year this is for 2015 in April we are planning a

trip to Morocco and if you're looking for details on that, just go to amateur traveler.com

to get in the private Facebook group where we'll be talking about the details.
