Today’s book recommendation and review comes from Matador Travel community member, Mojo

From the first paragraph to the last word I couldn’t put this book down.

I read it back to back within a week, and I’ve read it 4 times since purchasing it 6 months ago.

It’s an absolute inspiration. As I read this book I kept thinking to myself, “Oh my gosh. This is exactly what I think! This is exactly how I feel! There are other people out there with the same passion as me!”

If you are excited by “the vivid joys of uncertainty,” or if you feel that “your travels are not an escape from your real life, but a discovery of your real life,” then you must read this book.

Filled with amazing stories, helpful tips, entertaining anecdotes, profiles of well-known vagabonders, lists of resources, and so much more!

This “guide book” is like no other guidebook I’ve ever seen.

Rolf Potts doesn’t dictate, demand or even suggest.

He simply shares.

Price: $11.16 | BUY
