Vagabonding

An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel

De: Rolf Potts

Narrado por: Rolf Potts

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.

great development of a somewhat obscure concept!

I must have liked it the first time 'cause I'm listening to it again with a more refined and intent ear. well done!

Great travel and life advice

I will listen to this over and over again. For travel advice and for the quotes and to remind me what travel and life is about.

Travel Bug Infected

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.

Good, accurate to reality

easy listen. I like how he didn't make it seem like it was just Glamorous but let you know if it's the right thing for you it can be very rewarding

Now I am getting ready to leave

I was going to wait until my kids are old enough. I was wondering when would be the right time. surely NOW

A nice nudge to follow your dreams

If you are thinking about travelling this is a book to pick up. It is inspirational, directional and educational. The author performs his work well. I recommend.

Inspiring but not as detailed

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

Gotta do this now. One thing I do t want to go without is a portable shower but I already work remotely so this should be a natural :)

Great audio book for those with the travel bug.

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.

Insightful

Rolf Potts is a great narrator, story teller, and person of experience with a sense of humor. The travel tips, philosophies are very useful. Definitely will reference this book.
