The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit - The Stranger in the Woods

Review:Not happy about having to write my very personal reaction to this book in such a public forum, but am motivated by my intense desire to communicate how important the book has been for me, and possibly could be for others.

How to Travel the World on $50 a Day - Travel Cheaper

Review:Excellent tips for saving money while traveling around the world, somewhat slanted toward the younger traveler. Many of the tips are applicable to any age group, fortunately, but a lot of the advice about lodging and saving money on food seem more useful to the younger crowd, or at least a more agile and adventurous crowd than this early 70's-age reviewer.
