Summary of Rolf Potts's Vagabonding

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Vagabonding is about gaining the courage to loosen your grip on the so-called certainties of this world. It is about refusing to exile travel to some other, seemingly more appropriate, time of your life. It is about taking control of your circumstances instead of passively waiting for them to decide your fate.

#2 Earning your freedom to travel is a personal investment that demands the realignment of self. Work is not just an activity that generates funds and creates desire; it’s the vagabonding gestation period, during which you earn your integrity and start making plans.

#3 There are countless ways to earn your travels. On the road, I have met vagabonders of all ages, from all backgrounds and walks of life. Some don’t even maintain a steady job description, taking short-term work only as it serves to fund their travels and their passions.

#4 The first step of vagabonding is to make work serve your interests, instead of the other way around. To do this, you must quit your job to go vagabonding. This should never be seen as the end of something unpleasant. It’s a vital step in beginning something new and wonderful.
