5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Inspiring Guide, April 29, 2010

By	Matthew Krems (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Life Nomadic (Paperback)

This is the best travel book I have read so far. It offers very practical advice on everything from packing to buying cheap airplane tickets. It is also partly a book on travel and life philosophy, which I really appreciated. I have done a lot of traveling myself lately and plan to be a full time vagabond once I finish my Ph.D. I know this book will be an invaluable resource for the logistics of my travels. Whether you are someone who wants to really go around the globe or just learn how to appreciate what is right in front of your nose, you need to read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to travel, you must read this book, April 29, 2010

By	www.intelliot.com "Elliot" (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Life Nomadic (Paperback)

Life Nomadic inspired me to take action on my dreams, and now I'm traveling in Vietnam. I'm loving the quick-dry convertible pants, GPS watch, and traveling LIGHT! I read it cover-to-cover; it was so engaging that it was hard for me to put it down. It is easily the one of the best books I've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book Rocks. Buy it now., July 21, 2010

This review is from: Life Nomadic (Paperback)

I reluctantly agreed to read the e-book version of Life Nomadic book after a buddy recommended it. "Another book to read? Forget it," I thought. Boy was I wrong. As someone who loves both the Four Hour Work Week and Vagabonding, I expected it to be some kind of amalgamation of the two. Wrong again.

This book was filled with insightful travel tips ranging from what gear to take (not what you think), to how to save "boat loads" of money on cruises (pun intended). Tynan recommends traveling as a minimalist, which is in my opinion the only fun way to travel. It can cause anxiety in pack rats, but getting out of your comfort zone is good for you.

Once more all these colorful gems of wisdom are interspersed with interesting, entertaining, and downright eccentric life stories, some right out of a Ian Flemming novel (guerilla tuxedo gambling aboard the Queen Mary anyone?).

If you like [...], the 4HWW, Vagabonding, adventure of any flavor, or even have a pulse, do yourself a favor. Set aside a day to read this book.
