World Stompers: A Guide to Travel Manifesto

I read the first edition of World Stompers several years ago and that book, along with Think and Grow Rich, were the two books that changed my life. I was trying to figure out how I could travel on a budget and World Stompers was a godsend. It helped me tremendously. Keep up the good work Brad!

I have traveled independently to 64 countries and still found the book very interesting and informative. I'm 38 and still traveling 2-3 months a year by backpack.Once independent travel is in your blood it is hard to shake the feeling.The author has expressed the natural high of world stomping better than any other travel book on the market. I have 100's of books on travel and this book gives me goose bumps when I read it. My 18 year old daughter who hates to read picked up the book and she cannot put it down either. Now Jessica; my daughter is preparing her own world stomp. Looking forward to other books by the author.Steve Kay(AKA: Have Nikon Will Travel)

Even if you are not planning a trip as extensive as his, Olsen will open your eyes to the beauty of the world around you. World Stompers is an adventure book, not about death-defying feats of strength or endurance, but about the advenutre of the everyday world both inside and outside our own country's U.S. borders. He encourages the reader not only to seize the opportunity to travel, but to live life to its fullest every day. I have been trying to locate similar books but have been unable. I can only hope Olsen continues his fantastic work.
