My Favorite Travel Companies
As a travel writer, I try everything to make sure you don't get scammed. Over the years, I've tried hundreds of companies during my travels. Some were best-sellers, others were complete disasters.
I only recommend companies that I use myself and that have proven their worth to me. I've used all of these companies when I am traveling and everything my own trips or when they've gone above and beyond.

This book is a memoir of my ten years backpacking the world and the lessons I learned along the way. It's about finding yourself while getting lost, the planning, setting off on trips, the highs, the lows, the friendships made, the relationships forged (and lost), and the emotions you feel when it's all over.
Unlike my previous books, this is not a "how-to" guide for a collection of insights, stories, and lessons from the road meant to inspire the wanderlust of what it's like to be a nomad, to give up the traditional life, to travel the world, and what you learn about yourself and the world when you step outside your comfort zone and embrace the unknown.
