Summary: Excellent!
Review: (Planeta.com Journal) -- The definitive how-to book for world travel, Vagabond Globetrotting introduces readers to a great collection of resources and indispensable tips.Author Marcus Endicott is one of the pioneers in sustainable tourism and has written a book that stimulates and educates.

I have been a long-time fan of Marcus' work -- particularly the creation of the Green-travel forum <www.green-travel.com> and having read the earlier version of this book, I am quite impressed with the new edition.

Summary: The definitive book for backpackers
Review: At the age of nineteen, I came into posession of a copy of the second edition of Vagabond Globetrotting (1989). It inspired many schemes about spending the rest of my life traveling the world, living by my wits and improvisational survival skills (like its author). I didn't end up becoming a vagabond permanently, but I did manage a couple of great trips--one to Europe for a month when I was 22, and then another to Guatemala for five months at the age of 24. In both cases, I carried with me Endicott's book as a definitive reference guide--for its checklists and resources and practical advice. The updated version is full of the URLS of useful web sites for travelers, as well as updated information from the previous editions. The author is a true authority. Highly recommended!
