The Tao of Travel: A Traveler's Tale of Oriental Wisdom for the Road
Size: 6"X9". Price: $20.00 I wrote The Tao of Travel recently when it dawned on me just how stressful vacations can be. Sometimes people come back from their vacations even more fatigued than when they left! Don't let the title throw you, this book isn't bogged down with heavy or esoteric information on Taoism. It provides a very basic overview of the history and significance of Taoism and why I chose to blend its relaxing philosophy with highly-powered travel tips. The travel tips include hotel stays; vehicle maintenace; camping, the outdoors and wild animals; airline pricing and travel; avoiding theft; health and holistic wellness; international travel and gadgets that make traveling fun and easy. There are sidebars on rental cars, credit cards, organized tours. The Tao of Travel even includes a section that teaches you how to meditate in a few easy steps. (Particularly useful for rejuvenating, lomg layovers or stressful times!) There are appendices at the end of the book for area codes, time zones, a complete listing of every state tourist bureau in the USA, and a section to record travel journal entries. Testiomonials from happy customers! ...The Tao of
Travel is a invaluable tool for making travel easy...especially for making
sense of nightmarish air travel ...Chris' book was
not only fun to read (I liked his personal travel stories from when he was on
the road), but it allowed me to prepare better and become less stressed out for
spending next year syudying abroad... ...The Tao has
become my travel bible. I'm on the road all the time for my job, both are here
and abroad. The information about credit card rate exchanges, rental car and
trip insurance, etc. are insightful. This is all stuff Chris seems to have
learned on the road, so it not only works in theory but in practice. |
