Plan Your Escape, Secrets of Traveling the World for Less Than the Cost of Living at Home is a comprehensive step-by-step "how-to-do-it" guide essential for turning your travel dreams into reality. We show you how traveling the world or living somewhere can be safer, easier, and more affordable than you think. This book gives you the practical resources and advice missing in travel guidebooks. 



My wife, Pat, who joined me on our worldwide travel adventures calls this the how-to-do Eat, Pray, Love book. She says: "Choosing to run away with my husband and best friend has been the most rewarding lifestyle change one can make and has brought us closer together."

We escaped our 9 to 5 routine, rented our home, and traveled the world for 2 years visiting 51 countries and are members of the exclusive Travelers' Century Club. In total we have visited 100 countries and island groups on 6 continents as well as 43 states in the U.S. We have done home exchanges and taken 26 cruises on 12 different cruise lines on ships ranging from 10 to 3,000 passengers as well as over 70 trips together taking cars, trains, buses, organized tours, and independent travel all over the world. Traveling is our passion! 



We met scores of people along our worldwide journeys who asked hundreds of questions. We realized many people dream of taking a travel adventure but felt it would be too expensive with too many unknowns or didn't know the best way to pack or where to begin to make it actually happen. This detailed book combines real-life answers with countless hours of research from travel experts. We address the concerns you may have as well as the ones you may yet be aware of. 

You can now stretch your typical vacation costs to cover a month or more of travel. 



The experienced traveler will learn at lot. For those beginning their travels, we show you how to start out slow, choose the right trip for you, and work up to longer trips or stays. We present ideas about how to get a reluctant partner interested in travel and how to bring you closer together even on a 24/7 basis. Plan Your Escape is the travel-planning guide Americans need. 


You too can Unhook Now from your routines and live your travel dreams.

Plan Your Escape Now!

This review is from: Plan Your Escape: Secrets Of Traveling The World For Less Than The Cost Of Living At Home (Paperback)
I loved this book! PLAN YOUR ESCAPE is a wonderful resource for any traveler. If you want to plan a short trip or a longer adventure, this book will be invaluable! The website resources that are given in this book will save you enough money to pay for this book 10 times over. I am a pretty experienced traveler and this book had websites that I had never heard of, and found every helpful. I am now keeping it as a resource book. I found the chapter on how to manage your travel photos a wonderful resource for here at home too.
This book makes you realize you can take the chance and "go for it". I can't recommend this book enough. I'm ordering copies for friends and family that love to travel for Christmas!
Thanks for writing this book,
Jeanne and Lindsey Epstein

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Plan Your Escape: Secrets Of Traveling The World For Less Than The Cost Of Living At Home (Paperback)
This author brings such wisdom and depth to the art of travel.It really left me thinking the book is as much a new look at how we live our lives as it is a travel book.You cannot put this book down. Wayne Dunlap makes you re think the way you live. Do you really want to keep living to accumulate stuff ? And then work extra hard to support all the stuff you have ? Or do you want to get on with living.The method by which these travelers negotiate and interact with people is amazing.They come from pure goodness.If I could take one book to travel with this would be it.

This is on the MUST read list !!
