This Book Is about Travel

"Andrew Hyde spent the last two years on the road traveling to 15 countries with only a backpack of 15 things to his name, this book is a collection of stories as a critique of the world of modern travel. Nobody wishes they worked more on the death bed and those that traveled say it was the highlight of their life. So why don't more people hop on a boat, plane, train to rickshaw and see the world though the lends of another country? Though 'This Book is About Travel' Hyde lays out why travel is something everyone (even you) should do. Just what do you need to take not just take the trip? Hyde wrote the missing manual for modern movement aimed to show you what it is like to be on the road and just how you can join the over 3,000,000 that are currently on trips. A mix of essays written on the road, practical travel hacks to save you thousands of dollars and countless hours of time and interviews with travelers from around the world doing just what Hyde argues you should be planning on doing: Travel."--Publisher description.
