4.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me save so much money!, July 6, 2000

This review is from: You Can Travel Free (Paperback)

I read this book thinking that I might gain a few ideas that might work. I later learned I totally underestimated its powers! Being a young person I don't have a lot of money, and the money I do have has to be stretched, and this book had excellent ideas on how to do just that. I went to Europe last summer for three months and only spent $3000 (including airfare). If you enjoy traveling and aren't afraid for a little adventure, you should definately look into this book, it's a traveler's greatest companion!

An honest book with good tips but then it is not doable for everybody. Who can travel as a courier with a family. It is a very good book if you are single with unlimited vacation!
we are going to try to stay with locals which is definitely more rewarding than staying in an isolated grand-chain-hotel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the typical traveler, December 10, 2002

This review is from: You Can Travel Free (Paperback)

Almost 500 pages of mostly unconventional methods for securing free or nearly free travel. Topics include home exchange, house and boat sitting, tour hosting, auto driveaway, hitchhiking, bicycling, volunteering, working, scholarships and awards, travel careers, and much more. Excellent section on free travel resources. Air strategies are frequent flyer benefits, bumping, contests, and asking (and perhaps find a private pilot that will let you hitch). Highly recommended.
