Burning Man isn’t really a festival, and you’ll likely have a bad time if you approach it that way.

Many people seem to think it’s some hippy Woodstock or Coachella-esque event, but It’s more like an anarcho-punk temporary city, where your survival is in your own hands.

American media loves to bash it, and Instagram influencers love to flaunt that they went, but it’s most certainly not for everybody.

I don’t recommend going unless you do your research and really want to go.

I’d also encourage any first-timers to go solo their first year.
