Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel
Written by: Rolf Potts
Editorial Reviews:
Vagabonding is about taking time off from your normal life—from six weeks to four months to two years—to discover and experience the world on your own terms. Veteran shoestring traveler Rolf Potts shows how anyone armed with an independent spirit can achieve the dream of extended overseas travel. Potts gives the necessary information on:
• financing your travel time
• determining your destination
• adjusting to life on the road
• working and volunteering overseas
• handling travel adversity
• re-assimilating back into ordinary life
Not just a plan of action, vagabonding is an outlook on life that emphasizes creativity, discovery, and the growth of the spirit.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great if you're a serious long-term traveler...
Comment: The author comes across as someone who's definitely "lived what he writes". The "art of traveling", and making the most of it by not carrying the "tourist" attitude with you, is good advice for living, not just those on the road.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderfully Written
Comment: This has got to be the best travel book I've ever read. Well worth the price, and then some. If there's any part of you that ever wanted to travel, this book will make it seem realistic and possible. A must for anyone wanting to travel for a serious amount of time.
Customer Rating:

Customer Rating:
Summary: A Must read for all the free spritis willing to roam the world
Comment: This is a great book with realistic advice and practices to help you become a vagabond. I reserved the time to read it end to end and pretty soon I'll be living in Thailand to learn Box-Thai.
Customer Rating:
Summary: If you are going traveling (and not 1st class) get this book!
Comment: I have not yet applied what I learned from this book, but it has inspired me to get going. Anyone can explore the world, and it doesn't take a lot of money.
