The Vagabond\'s Way encourages you to sustain the mindset of a journey, even when you aren\'t able to travel, and affirms that Travel is as much a way of being as it is an act of movement.. - expanding your comfort zone: No moment of instant gratification can compare to savoring an experience that has been earned by enduring the adversity that comes with it. - finding richer Travel experiences: Developing an instinct to venture beyond the obvious on the road allows you to see places as mysteries to be investigated. - embracing the rhythms of the journey: The most poignant experiences on the road occur in those quiet moments when we recognize beauty in the ordinary.
The book\'s various sections mirror the phases of a trip, including - dreaming and planning the journey: All life-affecting journeys--and the unexpected wonders they promise--become real the moment you decide they will happen.
