This purchase will hurt you none!
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.

Great motivational starting point
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.

So much more than a travel guide
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.
