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. Visit the vagabonding community's hub at www.vagabonding.net.

This book really reinfected me with the travel bug. It is a good overview of long-term traveling, the how-to's, etc... I recommend this book if you ever fantasize about leaving it all behind to go traveling on a minimal budget while maximizing your enjoyment.

Don't get me wrong, I loved it and am going to show it to my fiancé as we are beginning to plan our travels. I like the use of different people and different perspectives. It really hammered the worldliness of vagabonding.
The problem is the book is very short and does have the kind of concrete info I was hoping for about logistics, time management, money saving tips, etc but he does provide links to resources that are up to date. Then again, that may have been the intention. Too much detail can bog one down with only one way to travel. I guess I just wanted more from the author.
Overall I loved it and am definitely going to listen again!

Inspiring but not as detailed

Motivating, inspiring and comfortable. Comfortable??? With any kind of travelling there is fear of the unknown. This book helped me to feel more comfortable with the unknown and things beyond my control.

Great audio book for those with the travel bug.
