NAFI

No Ambition and Fuck All Interest

Uncountable noun:

Tourists who use only a travel guide such as the Lonely Planet to determine their itinerary. Hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and destinations. These may be decided entirely by recommendations made by the book.
Example: A restaurant as recommended by that WKTG was so crowded that you couldn’t get a table. The NAFIs were literally standing there waiting and having the cheek to look vaguely irritated by the whole thing; it was heaving. Next door was a perfectly good restaurant; the staff were all polite, the surroundings were comfortable and the food was okay but it was virtually empty. There were only two people in there.

Example: A friend and I walked into a new town armed with our WKTG. It recommended a guesthouse so we went there. It was so crowded with NAFIs though it was unpleasant. It may have been a nice place at one time, but after being mentioned in the WKTG it had become overpopulated, noisy, dirty and unfriendly. Just walking minutes down the road we came upon a row of perfectly good guesthouses; cheap, clean and quiet.

If you are in a tourist town then sit back and watch the NAFIs as they walk in, faces glued to those pages, their destination Based Entirely Around Nothing other Than On A Single Travel book, (which loosely spells ‘beans on toast’). In their determination to find that great recommendation a NAFI will go past numerous other places that could certainly do with the money and are perfectly okay. Get a few beers with your mates and check ‘em out as they go by. Great fun!
