A global adventure from author Robert Downes
   Warning: This book could cause your feet to wander...

   ... but if that's no problem, "pass the goat dick please," and lean back for laughs  and low adventure with Planet Backpacker: The Good Life Bumming Around the World.

   Planet Backpacker by Robert Downes celebrates the backpacking lifestyle enjoyed by an estimated 100,000 travelers.  The nonfiction book about a journey around the world includes advice on how to make your own adventure a raging success.
     In 2007, Downes pedaled a mountain bike across Europe, backpacking on through Egypt, India and Southeast Asia.    The book was written one excerpt at a time in 100 internet cafes around the world as part of a blog written on a solo trip around the world. 
   What's in it?  Myth, magic, wisdom, wild women, dangerous men & funny stuff too.  Happy travels! -- Bob
