About this listen

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.

It acheives to inspire you by taking you by the hand and walking you through the process of tweaking your thinking regarding the "why's & how's" of traveling long term. When your done you'll feel that what was once a pie in the sky idea has become not only realistically achievable but an irresponsible thing to not do.

Really good book with clear positive messaging. Lacks the direct action points of the authors he has inspired eg Tim Ferris but it's certainly enough to get your mind whirring.

I downloaded this book as a travel guide but it ended up being so much more than that.

The philosophy that permeates through the story is one of tolerance, courage, curiosity and self exploration- deep down I found this a more-than-useful guide to my entire life, not just any intended travels.

The whole narrative is presented in an easy, laid-back style, and does not preach in any way. It’s not only inspired me to get back out on the road, but also to me more grateful if what I have. It really is a wonderful book.

So much more than a travel guide
