Humping it into your wildest dreams...
A global adventure from author Robert Downes
   Warning: This book could cause your feet to wander...

    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
