I got this book for my son, a budding traveller.  He relayed that the book is full of great tips on traveling on a budget.  Especially if you are young and willing to be slightly uncomfortable both physically and mentally.  My mother would not receive this book with such enthusiasm

This book was okay as I read it for free. However I found it a little hard to read, despite the interesting title and topic. I don't know how feasible or realistic his story actually is. He frequently begs to get to places, despite having a credit card to use. I think that begging really isn't really a suitable way or method for travelling free especially when you're begging in very poor countries.
