World Stompers A Global Travel Manifesto

Written to motivate and inspire young people in their quests to travel the world, this book introduces a new way of travelling -- freestyle travelling -- where all that's required is an adventurous spirit and an insatiable curiosity about the workings of the world. This global travel manifesto clears up misconceptions about travelling, candidly portrays travellers interacting in different cultures around the world, and encourages young people to get on world travel circuits to become aware of the immense changes happening around the planet. In addition to providing all the practical information such as saving money on travel expenses, staying safe and healthy on the road, and finding a job overseas, this guide will also take travellers on a philosophical journey with the best travel advice from sages throughout the ages.
