Road Warrior's Guide to Saving Money, Sep 5 2010
By Melissa Cook "SceneEast.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Travel for Free (or Pretty Damn Near It!) (Paperback)
I'm the original road warrior--and I thought I would never find a travel book that could tell me something I didn't know. This one did the trick! Shelley Seale and Keith Hajovsky achieved something great here: they have produced a highly readable book which is also jam-packed with information, links and tips. The book is useful for business people and families looking to stretch their vacation dollars, for college students looking to maximize the time they can stay away on their savings, and for recent graduates just starting out in low-paying jobs, who want to see the world without breaking the bank.One thing that really resonated with me was the description of how much more you can experience if you stay away from tourist traps. Just being in the midst of locals-- shopping, eating, traveling and doing things at local prices-- can expose you to sights, sounds and tastes that you would completely miss if you went on a guided tour. This is a useful reminder that even if you can afford to spend more, maybe it's not the wisest thing to do.
As a lifelong travel junkie, I'm totally sold on the idea that the world would be a better place if only people could go out and see how others live, how other cultures and value systems are constructed-- and really understand each other beter. Kudos to Shelley and Keith for opening the door to many more people to find a way to do this.

Great Resource and some Inspiration!, Sep 11 2010
By ArcticDi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Travel for Free (or Pretty Damn Near It!) (Paperback)
I read Shelley's book "The Weight of Silence" so I knew I would like her writing style and approach to the world in this book. And this book is a gold mine of ideas and resources for those individuals new to travel and even for the veterans of world wide travel.I like the way this book is organized. It's going to be a great resource for us and I only wish we had it 15 years ago when we first started traveling because it would have given us ideas for traveling longer and less expensively.
After reading this book there is no reason to NOT travel. If you have ever dreamed of traveling the world but couldn't see how you could afford it this book is for YOU. Shelley makes it possible with a little research and planning for any budget range. Not to mention great ideas to travel in unconventional ways which provide the best experiences!

Great insight and tools to travel more for less money!!!!, Jun 17 2011
By D. Mester - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Travel for Free (or Pretty Damn Near It!) (Paperback)
I found this book amazingly helpful and informative. I love to travel but don't have enough money to do it very often. I have started using points.com and other tools from the book to track my points and rewards for free trips. I have also realized that it takes a lot of time and work but it's worth it if you love to travel and want to travel more. I'm a fan!!
