Liminal Travel is a guide to fulfilling your desires - with travel. Travel in itself is a freedom from the things that constrain us in life. At least it should be. Liminal Travel outlines some of the ways that those who do travel can get more out of it for less money. While not a budget travel guide, Liminal Travel is a guide to seeing travel in a different light. Chapters focus on earning money on the road, finding the right accommodation, rewarding things to do (for free), liminal spirituality, and alternative means of getting from here to there.
I've done a lot of stuff in this life. A former Marine, a former stock broker, a former homeless guy living in a van, a former lots of other stuff too.
These days I'm living in Japan, still a dad, a world traveler, and a guy who can't stop writing even if he wanted to. I'm just happy that a few people like my work. That's good enough for me, though I won't argue if that number should go up exponentially.
Damitio is brilliant! Funny, inspiring and motivational in everything that I've read so far - so underrated that I decided to assign him my first review in order to try promote his wisdom! This book is perfect for people wanting to travel without falling into the standard categories such as tourist, backpacker, gapper etc. It offers inspiration and advice on how to embark on a unique kind of travel involving true experiences and freedom for the individual (as opposed to standard shrink wrapped package holidays of our time). A prominent philosophy is that its not about the destinations but the journey itself - and who can argue with that? It's a brilliant 'off the beaten track' book about travel (not travel guide) providing alternative suggestions and anecdotes for things like eating, accommodation, activities and even a brilliant chapter on spirituality. I admit it might not be for everyone but my opinion is that this book encapsulates the true meaning of travel - read it!
