Amazon.com
Many dream of traveling the world, but few actually do so. If you've decided to put your money where your fantasy is and save for the trip of trips, Edward Hasbrouck is your travel guru. He's circumnavigated the world twice, and coordinates a travel agent's around-the-world department. He explains why you ought to chose (and stick to) your route in advance but needn't start and finish in the same city, and above all why you ought to take the travel plunge. He shares hard-won truths about saving money--and in Thailand or Bali $100 saved earns an extra month of freedom.
From Library Journal
Attention, travel lovers: Hasbrouck, an "extended travel specialist," has written the handbook for world travelers. The trips Hasbrouck has in mind don't include a lot of fancy hotels and tour groups but instead focus on independent adventure and really getting to see a country and its people. His comprehensive guide includes such information as getting discounted airfares, choosing a destination, types of transportation, what to pack, sample budgets, and dealing with culture shock and coming home. An excellent index is also included. Smart travelers will make sure to have this necessary guide in their backpacks when boarding the plane, and all public libraries will benefit from its purchase.?Melisa Fiumara, North Tonawanda P.L, NY

Could have accomplished as much with half as many pages,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Practical Nomad: How to Travel Around the World (Practical Nomad, 1997) (Taschenbuch)
Overall this book was helpful in understanding a lot of the aspects of world travel, but it could have been half as long. The detailed info about air travel (over 100 pages!) was repetitive and not too useful. The authors anti-American, anti-US government, anti-big business bias got to be a bore after awhile. This book covered a lot of ground but World Stompers was a more useful book.

By far the most practical and useful planning tool out there,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Practical Nomad: How to Travel Around the World (Practical Nomad, 1997) (Taschenbuch)
This book is admittedly a little dry, but it provides the practical information that anyone planning a lengthy trip around the world needs. The author doesn't mess around, there are no cute cartoons or tons of funny anecdotes. If that's what you want, look elsewhere! This book is essentialy a compendium of information to guide you through the process of planning and executing an independent trip around the world. The book does not give very much information that is specific to any country of region, but it does give resources to help you plan your destinations and transportation. This book is a definite must have. The section on airlines/airfares is especially worthwhile.

buy it for the airfare advice, but nothing else,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Practical Nomad: How to Travel Around the World (Practical Nomad, 1997) (Taschenbuch)
I went ahead and bought both this book and World Stompers, and I think where one lacks, the other picks up. This book is incredibly boring and at times repetitive, but the travel agent's insight and explanation of how the international and domestic airline ticketing systems work is well worth the cost of the book. Also, I found some of the country information a bit outdated. For more nuts and bolts advice on how to get by as a backpacker on an RTW trip, as well as some helpfl and humorous anecdotes, read World Stompers instead.
