Customer Reviews

Inspirational reading!
Dont expect this book to plan your route for you or tell you what to do where or even get you a job.

This is not your average guide book!

Read this for inspiration and enthusiasm! The anecdotes are great and make light of the nomadic lifestyle.

The infomation and hints are at times obvious and more like common sense, but are packed out with snippets of very useful infomation. Take the time to read it thoroughly!

Great as a starting block, especially if you have internet access. I probably wouldnt have found some of the sites listed here of my own back.

Definatley worth a read, if not only for the anecdotal style!
