Planet Backpacker
by author Robert Downes a round-the-world celebration of the
backpacking lifestyle enjoyed by an estimated 100,000 travelers at any
given moment. The nonfiction book about a global journey packs
everything from a love story to encounters with wild women and
dangerous men, history, myth, humor, and thoughts on the traveling life.
The book was written one excerpt at a time in 100 internet cafes around
the world as part of a blog written on a
five-month solo trip around the world. In 2007, the author pedaled a
mountain bike across Europe, backpacking on through Egypt, India and
Southeast Asia. Planet Backpacker
offers an optimistic view of the world and its people with a 'go for
it' spirit. If you love literature and travel, you'll enjoy this
rallying cry to visit some of the most exotic countries on earth. The book is completely revised for 2009, with the addition of maps and a 'how to'
section for traveling on a budget. Check out the latest reviews on this website. Happy travels! -- Bob
