3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-25-2008; Great if you're a serious long-term traveler...; The author comes across as someone who's definitely "lived what he writes". The "art of traveling", and making the most of it by not carrying the "tourist" attitude with you, is good advice for living, not just those on the road.; read full review | report as inappropriate
