A very interesting read on the theory and practice of long-term travel. Potts announces that he’s written the book “from experience, from passion and from common sense” and it’s exactly how it feels when you read it. I particularly liked the chapters on why we travel and what makes up the art of travel – as they populated with insights, quotations and multiple references to other publications. I found the book very supportive – as it appeared lots of people look for similar things in their vagabonding experiences as I do - and very inspirational – as it made me feel like hitting the road again   hide

It's a pretty nice quick read for anyone with the balls and will to go vagabonding, yes you stil have to work and come back home at some point. Somewhat spiritual, full of nice inline quotes that tend to make you go on a tangent. If you are planning on going out there for a long while, it's a good book. If it's a short trip, skip it for now.

inspirational Great info.

guide to the mindset of the traveller

Defines the difference between a vagabonder and one who is a tourist or even traveler. Great insights and good leads to other resources. The book also serves as a great collection of quotes by other famous travelers. Wish I would have read this when it came out in 03, I'd be long gone by now.
