Publisher's summary

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.

Makes me want to leave my job, sell my car, pack a bag and learn about my true self.

I've already had a few small taste of what this book entails but now I'm left wanting more travel. It's truly medicine to the soul :)

Just what I needed!

I listened to this book at the recommendation of someone else and was really satisfied. Many of the concepts were known to me, previously internalized truths. Many more ideas were not and I enjoyed the fantasy of traveling again while I wait to save enough to go again out on the road. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a great company to planning a trip!

Beautiful

The perspective that I have always known, retold to me, reinvigorating me, reassuring me, and igniting me to travel again.

Thank you Rolf

I've caught the bug.

This book has made me realize how possible a life of travel can be. My first destination is going to be Thailand!

Great for those unsure about travel.

A recommended listen for anyone curious, or inspired about the idea of travelling. The book covers several angles as to the mindset needed to make the most of your experiences as well as practical advice for a number of scenarios. A very helpful guide for anyone made all the more real with user accounts spread throughout.
