Review:
World Stompers describes itself as "a guide to travel manifesto," and this subversive travel book does indeed combine practical advice with a definite philosophy about travel. Author Brad Olsen sets the tone with his "Author's Karma Statement," which supports the idea that individual actions can make a difference; Olsen believes it is the traveler's responsibility to "go out into the world and observe the monumental changes our collective humanity faces. Gain a universal awareness. See how the other half lives. Have a great time. Let it change your life." Intended primarily for young travelers on a shoestring budget, World Stompers covers options often not mentioned in more mainstream guidebooks--from overland bus tours of Africa to getting temporary work on a cruise ship--and it even includes chapters geared toward travelers with an interest in drugs and booze, since it is "the way people travel.".

Brad Olsen has made travel a way of life, and he's written a book full of the accumulated wisdom of his and other world stompers' voyages around the planet. World Stompers is intended to demonstrate that travel need not be prohibitively expensive nor inordinately difficult. Though you'll probably want to supplement your travel planning with other books that focus on particulars such as hotels, restaurants, and tourist sites, World Stompers is meant to fire your imagination, inspire your soul, and give your travles a philosophical context.
