Detailing unforgettable experiences in 25 countries

Nomad: Letters From A Westward Lap Of The World by Jason Jones is an inherently fascinating travelogue of backpacking around the world on a mere $40 a day. Detailing unforgettable experiences in 25 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, Nomad is thrilling true life story of adventure, meeting new friends worldwide and viewing truly magnificent sights, as well as the terrible pain of learning about the 9/11 attacks when far from home. So vivid it makes the reader feel as if he or she were personally on the road, Nomad is a recommended pick -- especially for armchair travelers who dream of tramping around the world themselves.

Inspiring

Jason's journey makes me feel 'connected' to the everyday people he met throughout his journey. This 'connection' is one you can only get from bonding and living with the locals rather than just passing through as a tourist. I appreciate Jason's opinion and experiences because he immersed himself into the lifestyle and culture of the common folk and even stayed in some of their homes. No lavish hotel or tourist style vacation can compare. How many tourists know the Wild Wall of China even exists? I can't wait to take a similar lap westward with my 6-year old son. Thanks for sharing, Jason!
