What you need to know condensed,
By W. Chen "circusoflife" (TiERRA / EARTh / TERRAin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World Awaits: How to Travel Far and Well (Paperback)
I'm about to embark on a 2+ year journey around the world and have read many books about travelling on both what to see and how. I thought I had read it all until I found this easy to read gem of a book.This book clearly describes multiple methods of travel The author also describes route planning, and living on the road. While I have not read these latter two sections yet, the quality of writing and advice in the 1st section is good enough for me to warrant giving this book 5 stars. As an earlier reviewer stated, most will find many nuggets of information, save for the most seasoned of travelers. Even for those - it's nice to hear another voice. This book is how-to book, not what.

It had to happen,
By Traveler (Northeast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World Awaits: How to Travel Far and Well (Paperback)
Greetings--I'm the author of The World Awaits. I haven't posted anything about my books on Amazon in the past but thought I would now in response to seeker993's review below--one sharply contrary to all other reviews of both editions of The World Awaits. I realize my book isn't for everyone. I have to admit, however, that such a terse and negative quip stings a bit. My apologies to the reviewer, who I assume purchased the book here and feels that it was money poorly spent. I would be glad to hear from seeker393 regarding the details of the complaint. I can be reached via worldawaits.com. Others wishing to know more about The World Awaits are also encouraged to visit the site, which is structured like the book and includes many excerpts. I welcome all communication. My thanks to the very many of you who have supported The World Awaits with encouraging feedback. The third edition is in the works. I welcome email questions and opinions. Cheers, Paul Otteson

Worthless,
By Oil Man "Oil Man" (Kenai, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World Awaits: How to Travel Far and Well (Paperback)
This book is aboslutely worthless, unless you're totally clueless and have never ventured over 20 miles from your place of birth.
