The 4-Hour Workweek exposed me to the idea of working on the road. Although I’m pretty good at working remotely, more instruction was needed on the traveling part.
Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel by Rolf Potts is a collection of essays and tips written for those considering living on the road. The book spends a good chunk of time explaining the difference between being a tourist and being a traveler.
If you are considering packing a backpack and heading out for a few months (or years) be sure to read this book. The author also has a well-researched list of resources that are available on the Vagabonding website.
