In his book A Vagabond World, Thomas Bachand conveys the poignance, import, and changing dynamics of travel by recounting a two-year solo journey around the globe. Whether negotiating for a used car in New Zealand, meeting the Dalai Lama in India, or viewing America through the eyes of a frontiersman in the Grand Canyon, A Vagabond World is a rite of passage that turns the outward experience inward so as to examine ourselves and our place in the world. Once we buy the ticket, all of our life is transformed. Contents:Prologue
