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.

Was sort of expecting a travelogue interspersed with advice but it's basically just loads of advice.
Good advice mind for doing this sort of travelling.
It also makes you think about how you currently live and travel and shows you an alternative way of doing it.

Strongly reccomend to anyone looking for down to earth perspective on real long term travel.

Two years ago, at the start of my clueless stumble for travel advice, I listened to this while planning to travel, when I was feeling confused about what I needed or how I was really going to pull off such a long term trip. This helped to put into perspective that my travels begin now, not when I get on the plane. I listened for the second time while on my travels, on a long motorbike ride. It helped again to remind me why I was doing the stressful drive: to earn that time in the city when I arrived. I've listened a good few more times since then, for various different reasons and taken different things each time, even now after 2 years of being a seasoned traveller, it still gives me something new. I'm now planning to go away again, and find myself here, taking notes and reminding myself of advice I'd forgotten.
