This book chronicles the year the authors spent traveling. It also details how they were able to do it, and how the reader can as well. Some of the personal stories fell flat, but overall it was an interesting read on travel with some good tips for travel of any length.

A skimmer of a book. Not much useful info other than a peek at their budget. Mostly like hearing a stranger's travel stories...not that interesting.

Not fine literature but this book delivers on its mission better than most travel books. The book is full of practical formation including good advice on the emotional side of long travels - front and back end. I don’t think I have come across a thorough re-entry discussion before. If you are dreaming about or planning a lengthy trip this is a good book to add to your reading list.

I think a big part of my 4 stars was how visually appealing the whole book was - beautiful pictures and calming, colorful print and backgrounds. I am getting ready for a big trip that involved leaving my job so a lot of the book did feel applicable to me but it wasn’t a book that really drew me in (I think it took me a month to read as I would read other books in the meantime). I read it at the right time in my life but I could see how it wouldn’t be a very intriguing book if you weren’t doing a similar adventure.

I'm not about to head off around the world, but the Browns make it look do-able and wonderful. I've always wondered about the technicalities of how a trip like that is done, now I know. Very interesting.

I’m certain I had just seen this book on Hoopla and thought, from the title, “yes, I want to read this.” I picked it up as some light reading for a flight and found myself devouring it over the course of 2 days. It’s very easy to read, mixing little essays and practical tips organized well to help people think about how to travel for long periods of time. There are definitely some cliches here and not enough recognition of privilege, but still a worthy read for people who could see themselves taking a long time off to travel.

I got this e-book free through kindle/amazon, and it was a great balance between stories, things to do in different cities and tips!
