Vagabonding

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

Book • 2002

In 'Vagabonding', Rolf Potts provides a comprehensive handbook for long-term world travel.

The book is not just about travel but an outlook on life, encouraging readers to use the prosperity and possibilities of the information age to increase personal options rather than possessions.

It covers practical advice on financing travel, determining destinations, adjusting to life on the road, handling travel adversity, and re-assimilating back into ordinary life.

Potts emphasizes the importance of an independent spirit, simplicity, and a friendly interest in people, places, and things, making the reader an explorer in the truest sense of the word.
