The Wayfarer’s Handbook

A Field Guide for the Independent Traveler, by Evan S. Rice, 2017, scanned 12/8/18

Very interesting, packed little book full of all kinds of fun facts for travelers:

  • The difference between a hobo (traveling worker), a tramp (works only when they have to), and a bum (refuses all work)
  • Don’t worry so much
  • Don’t pack so much
  • Tipping
  • How to say no firmly but politely
  • The seven wonders of the world
  • Sunscreen
  • Water
  • What countries haven’t gone metric: US, Liberia, Myanmar
  • Cartography-I think the Robinson is the best

And on and on and on – no real chapters, just packed page after packed page of useful information, and a very good index. Great little book!
