Their senior year of college, two friends made a pact to work for two years, save up some money, and quit their jobs to travel around the world. It took one more year than they planned, but after three years, they both handed in their resignations and boarded a plane to Thailand. With only vague details on where they would go and how they would get by, the journey was far from smooth. This book is a collection of essays from their travels covering the highlights--and lowlights--of the trip. Written with a sense of humor that turns even the worst of days into funny anecdotes, this book is perfect for those looking for inspiration to travel, ideas on where to go, or who just want to travel through a book for a few hours.
