Rating: Summary: The Back Door Guide a winner! Review: Michael Landes does an incredible job of simplifying a very difficult process.This is one-stop shopping for a tremendous amount of useful information. The layout and graphics make it a very easy read and all of the information is very accessible. You can't help but get excited about travel after browsing through this book. If you use it as a tool, you are sure to find many new opportunities that you would never be able to uncover on your own. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: This book will change your life! Review: This is by far the most comprehensive, user-friendly and inspirational guide on internships, short-term jobs and volunteer opportunities. Its holistic approach provides the perfect blend of information and insight through an abundance of detailed listings, resources, advice, topics, stories and quotes. The energy and excitement conveyed throughout the book is highly contagious and refreshing. Back Door is an invaluable tool for anyone who dares to dream about and discover life's endless possibilities!
Rating: Summary: It got me here! Review: When I first glanced through the book I didn't think it had a lot to offer. Many of the jobs were volunteer and I needed income. There were not tons of choices in that respect, but some nice ones. It is really good for people who have the desire to try something different, money and luxuries notwithstanding. The writing is whimsical and holistic, yet it doesn't romanticize the type of jobs. People who want to find a future of stability and high income should look elsewhere, anyone who wants to walk on the other side for a bit may want to pick it up. I'm currently happily teaching English in Japan thanks to this book.
