Welcome to the online companion site for Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel, by Rolf Potts.
The book
"Vagabonding" is about taking time off from your normal life — from six weeks, to four months, to two years — to discover and experience the world on your own terms. Award-winning writer (and veteran shoestring traveler) Rolf Potts shows how anyone armed with an independent spirit can achieve the dream of extended overseas travel.
Audio Book
I'm excited to announce the brand-new audiobook of Vagabonding, featuring an introduction by Tim Ferriss (The 4-Hour Workweek) and new case studies. Check it out here.

Quote: "Don't think about it too much. Don't make pro and con lists. Pro and con lists are nothing but trouble. If you think about it too much, you'll just end up staying home. … My family and friends often say to me, 'I'm living vicariously through you.' Don't ever live vicariously. This is YOUR life. Live."
