FREE BOOK. Craig and Linda review Vagabonding: An uncommon guide to the art of long-term world travel by Rolf Potts then offer to give it away. For free. Just leave a review for us in the iTunes store, then email us to let us know that you did so.

That subtitle is one heck of a mouthful, huh? It sums the book up well though.

In short, it wasn’t our type of book. The layout was frustratingly fragmented, with quotes, profiles and tips scattered throughout the pages (see picture). Linda moans while Craig points out it’s how motivational books are published these days.

We’d recommend this book to people that are sitting on the fence when it comes to a lifestyle of travel. If you’re sitting at home or at work, dreaming of travelling then this book is for you.
