Vagabonding
240 pages, 2002
Taking time off from your normal life—from six weeks to four months to two years—to discover and experience the world on your terms is an incredibly rewarding endeavor.
Veteran travel writer Rolf Potts explains how anyone armed with an independent spirit can achieve this dream in his accessible and inspiring guide Vagabonding .
The revised edition of this book is filled with updated information that will help you:finance your travel time;determine where you want to go;adjust to life on the road;work or volunteer overseas;handle travel adversity;and re-assimilate back into ordinary life.
Rolf Potts encourages readers to explore the world at their own pace. He suggests that travel should not be a luxury, but a lifestyle choice. You don't need to be rich to travel, you just need to prioritize it. So, take a look at your life and see if you can make room for more adventures.
In Vagabonding, Potts emphasizes that travel is not about ticking off destinations from a list, but about personal growth and self-discovery. It's about immersing yourself in different cultures, meeting new people, and learning from them. So, don't just visit places, live in them and learn from them.
He also stresses the importance of simplicity in travel. You don't need a lot of stuff to travel. In fact, the less you have, the more you can experience. So, check your baggage and see if you can travel lighter. You might find that you enjoy the freedom it brings.
One of the key messages in Vagabonding is that time is more valuable than money when it comes to travel. You can always earn more money, but you can't get back time. So, take the time to explore, to learn, and to experience the world. You won't regret it.
Finally, Potts suggests that travel is not just about physical movement, but a state of mind. You can be a traveler in your own city, exploring new neighborhoods, trying new foods, and meeting new people. So, start your vagabonding journey today, wherever you are.
