Morrison is experienced at both travel and writing, making him the ideal guide for readers seeking to overcome their inhibitions, pack their bags, and take that dream trip or even several of them. Everything the first-time traveler is wondering about -- flights, accommodations, guided tours, credit card points, basic safety -- is here. But so are things first-time travelers can only learn through hard experience, like the ABSOLUTE NECESSITY YES I AM TYPING THIS IN CAPS of packing light, striking the right balance between over-planning and under-planning, and setting a pace that maximizes exploration and pleasure while minimizing stress and exhaustion. He's more into hostels than I am, as a senior who loves a private bathroom, but that and everything else he says here comes from a POV of the absolute authority you get only from deep knowledge and experience. Best of all is how he encourages the reader, even the penny-pinching kind, to see travel as a way of making friends and developing a broader view of the world. Meeting new people has a way of making fear evaporate and nourishing the parts of our souls that are often starving at home. And he does it all in a friendly whimsical tone, like a knowledgable friend, and can't we all use another one of those?
