Travel on 20 Dollars a Day

Monday, March 8, 2010

Do you crave freedom? Do you do nothing but dream of the open road? 

Is that Barcalounger in the family room getting more confining every day?

Now a new book called Vanabode details new ways to camp forever in any exotic destination and live anywhere at the least possible cost -- something like 20 dollars a day. The book, written by Las Vegas-based author Jason Odom, dispels the myth that the American dream is home ownership, proving instead that what people really want is time and freedom.

If you’d like a complete plan for safe, adventurous travel throughout the United States that addresses everything from where to go and where to stay to how to cook without fire, fuel or electricity, then this book might just be your ticket.

The author has traveled over 700,000 miles over the course of more than 16 years, and from this wealth of experience, he brings practical advice. A real problem-solver, the book details a wide range of solutions, including how to live in cities where the rent is too expensive, safely and comfortably live in wilderness areas for free, avoid the boredom killing many marriages, and get off the grid without breaking the bank. If you think a big RV is holding you back, the book will detail how to get rid of the motor home and travel more cheaply and easily.

Vanabode also details how to recover from a financial disaster by cutting costs, live without a house while maintaining your dignity, and most intriguingly, disappear to escape stalkers or past mistakes.

In its pages, you’ll also find detailed instructions on how a microbudget can help you meet all your life’s needs comfortably and safely. And for those without savings, the book also provides extensive information on how to pay for it all. For example, there is a massive list of seasonal camping jobs requiring no experience in places like national parks, and there are ways to earn a living running a small mobile business while traveling.
