Much to my surpise theres a book about Vagabonding on the market.

The name is " Vagabonding" by Rolf Potts.

So far its been good, havent done enough traveling to say if the content is good or not...

Rolf is also a veteran BNA member.

Rolf is also a God!

I believe Rolf used to be a moderator for the vagabonding thread. In fact, I believe the thread started as a result of his work.

Half way through it...

Definetly good reading!

That book has changed my life. I have nothing but praise for Rolf Potts, he has an amazing outlook on life.

I agree. Great book, great outlook on life.

Finished it up... definetly put it on my recomended reading list...

That's good to hear. I figure there must be a lot of BNA members whom have read this book.

jmnage as someone else said in a diffrent thread its practicly required reading here at Bootsnall.

Heck the only reason a lot of people have found this sight his because of Rolf Potts

That was me Needless to say, few 'how to travel' books can light a flame under your but like Rolf's.

bna is actually one of the sponsors of a writing workshop this summer in Paris, where Rolf will be teaching on travel writing.

Here's the info Creative Writing Workshop

I would love to go, wouldn't that be cool, but unfortunately I'm not a writer, although I would love learn how, maybe when I start my RTW trip.

Cheers.

You can lean on me.

I just wanna add to the praise on the book Vagabonding. I'm not a big reader so it was important that this wasn't a tough read. It was just what I needed exactly when I needed it. Actually, it might have been a few weeks too late because I started school and wasn't working full time at the moment so saving was hard.

It got right to the point and it hits every desire that we all have. It even has a reference to BNA in it as a resource. I didn't find BNA because of the book but they both popped up in my life around the same couple of days.

Changed me definitely. Made travel SO easy. Made everything about my life a little bit easier and gave me a good place to start.

Wow...

That course is 3500 bucks... or 2700 without housing...

Thats a year at a state school here in NC... or was the last time I checked!

What a smart ass you are!!!

I guess that's what I like about you, that & your vintage wheels, quick wit, enormous travel info also liked your better half, Mavis.

I actually left my desk for an hour or so and came back & read it & fixed it before it refreshed to see your smartass coment.

Back to the topic...I'm almost ashamed to admit that I haven't read it. Sure I've been meaning to pick it up for the last 6 mths or so, but that's it I'm leaving straight from work to pick it up.



Thanks all.

So sorry. I'm just randomly writing blatantly obvious statements all day. I think I'll call it spam.

jmnage: We shall dub thee... Sir Spam Alot....

ok, I did pick up the book yesterday and have read half of it already.

In one word "WOW!"

Cheers.
