Vagabonding by Rolf Potts

Vagabonding by Rolf Potts is an amazing book that offers a well-written philosophy on traveling. This book is essentially about the thought processes behind taking time off from your regular life to discover the world on your own terms. If you have been traveling before, you'll find that Rolf puts many of your unexpressed thoughts and feelings into words. If you haven't already, you will find yourself fired up about going abroad as it is truly inspiring.
The book helps you handle travel adversity, going back to your regular life, and making adjustments to the life abroad. However, it is not so much a book that keeps stacking up practical to-do's. So if that is what you are after you should probably look elsewhere.

In my case, the physical book has taken on the road on its own. After borrowing it to a friend who continued to pass it on, we have now completely lost track of it. I suppose that that is a testament to Potts' ability to capture his readers.

If you prefer speeches over writing but still want to know more about Potts' philosophy, you can find Paul's Google Talk here.
