Customer Reviews
Good perspective on budget travel
A very enjoyable book. Not so deep & philosophical like a Bruce Chatwin or Peter Matthiessen travel journal, but it is much more approachable and readable. He writes the real story about travel - the hassles and hardships you endure to see and experience people and places that forever change the person you are. It inspires us to travel on a budget without trivializing the sheer time and labor involved.
Written in a simple, readable style, it is a page turner for sure.
this book is great
If you're interested in traveling the world, this is the way to do it. This book was inspirational and tremendous.
The road of the disjointed
This book started off with great Promise, of an adventure. However,the writer was all over the map, Figuratively, and did not seem to be able to flesh anything thing in detail. A mish mash of ideas and things thrown together for a book. Yes there was adventure there, He maybe should have hired a ghost writer instead of spending five years for this effort, I think money would have well spent if he had done this. I am sure that the slide show is much better.
