The definitive how-to book for world travel, Vagabond Globetrotting was first published in 1984 at the dawn of the information age. A second, updated edition appeared in 1989. Endicott's next book "The Electronic Traveler" introduced readers for the first time to the nascent travel resources available in the then-largely-unexplored cyberspace. This twentieth anniversary edition, Vagabond Globetrotting 3: The Electronic Traveler in the New Millennium, has been extensively revised and includes hundreds of essential web sites for travelers as well as indispensable tips, checklists, and resources.

The definitive book for backpackers,

This review is from: Vagabond Globetrotting 3: The Electronic Traveler in the New Millennium (Paperback)
At the age of nineteen, I came into posession of a copy of the second edition of Vagabond Globetrotting (1989). It inspired many schemes about spending the rest of my life traveling the world, living by my wits and improvisational survival skills (like its author). I didn't end up becoming a vagabond permanently, but I did manage a couple of great trips--one to Europe for a month when I was 22, and then another to Guatemala for five months at the age of 24. In both cases, I carried with me Endicott's book as a definitive reference guide--for its checklists and resources and practical advice. The updated version is full of the URLS of useful web sites for travelers, as well as updated information from the previous editions. The author is a true authority. Highly recommended!

(Planeta.com Journal) -- The definitive how-to book for world travel, Vagabond Globetrotting introduces readers to a great collection of resources and indispensable tips.Author Marcus Endicott is one of the pioneers in sustainable tourism and has written a book that stimulates and educates.
I have been a long-time fan of Marcus' work -- particularly the creation of the Green-travel forum <www.green-travel.com> and having read the earlier version of this book, I am quite impressed with the new edition.

This review is from: Vagabond Globetrotting 3: The Electronic Traveler in the New Millennium (Paperback)
The information that the author shares in this book is INDISPENSABLE for the vagabond adventurer, the wanderer, the modern explorer, anyone who wants to get out and see and experience the world without having to spend a fortune to do so. The author has clearly had much personal experience traveling the world, and while on the road I found myself again and again recalling gems of wisdom from the pages of this book. From hitching advice, to a wealth of information on how to find a place to stay at night, to packing advice, to numerous websites for further information...I find it hard to describe the worlds that this book opened up. The bottom line: if you are young and adventurous and want to be exposed to new and better means of travel, you will be far better off after reading Endicott's book.
