Customer Reviews

An eloquent reminder to seize the day.
I really enjoyed this book tremendously. It doesn't offer any really ground-breaking ideas about how to travel, it simply reminds us that our travels (like everything else in our lives) are what we make them. It does offer some suggestions on how to prepare yourself mentally, spiritually for an excursion, but most of all, reminds us to fully _live_ while away. The beauty of the world _is_ in the details we allow ourselves to notice.

A rare and beautiful book that speaks to the heart
The simple and straight forward writing style combined with liberal use of quotes and tales of travelers gone before make for a majestic and moving tribute to the wanderer in us all.

This is a wonderful book. It is a guide for your soul.
This is one of those books that has the power to change your life. It is a guide to feeding your soul. The author gives us the motivations for taking a pilgrimage-the traveler as student, travel simply for travel's sake, to discover the answers you are seeking, to quench a longing for the unknown, the enticement of traveling to a destination leaving behind your name & past, and many more. The idea that travel can restore a sense of passion and wonder is something of great interest to me. I am stuck in the daily grind of seeing the same scenery and people and doing the same work everyday. My spirit hungers for meaning, beauty, and adventure. This book is the ultimate guide for unconventional travel even if your traveling somewhere conventional. It shows us how to observe and listen in a way that opens up a whole new world to explore. I have enjoyed reading this book and consider author Phil Cousineau a kindred spirit.
