this is the BEST book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rough Guide First Time Around The World 1e (Paperback)
My husband and I are planning an extensive around-the-world trip for next year. While we are travel-savvy, we have never done this type of trip. Also, we are in our 30s, so we aren't doing a true "backpacker" trip, nor will it be luxury travel, it will be somewhere in the middle. This book is a MUST for anyone planning an extensive trip. It gives you the lowdown on a hundred topics, from medical/health, insurance, etc to basic overviews of the different regions and countries. It gave us a LOT to think about, and has me doing further research on issues that I had never even thought about. A MUST READ!!

Fantastic Book,

This review is from: Rough Guide First Time Around The World 1e (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book. The material is well organized by chapters for specific topics and is FULL of useful information. I've read many travel and how to books that give you basics and vague concepts but this book gets very specific and tells you exactly how to plan and where to get the information. Also, the book's presentation is one of the best I've seen with full color pages in the front section and multicolor pages throughout, it is very pleasant to read. A must have for the long term (1 month to 1 year) travler.

Good help, but nothing earthshattering,

This review is from: Rough Guide First Time Around The World 1e (Paperback)
This book is different than most guide books in that it is specifically about travelling around the world. However, there is nothing in it that you can't find in any world travel guides. ALSO, it might be helpful to know that this is written from a British perspective rather than an American one.
