BN 137: Book Review: Vagabonding by Rolf Potts

About this episode

Eli reviews the book Vagabonding by Rolf Potts, discussing its insights on long-term travel and its relevance today.

Recorded from the coast of Taiwan, Eli shares thoughts on the book Vagabonding by Rolf Potts. He walks walks through the passages he bookmarked and what still holds up: why long-term travel is cheaper than most people think, the cost of staying constantly connected, what you lose when travel becomes routine, and why the best quote in the book might be enough on its own. A book review for people already on the road, thinking about it, or just curious what holds up after two decades.
