Basic but good
This is probably better for the younger generations that want to hit the world on a gap year straight from school or uni. It’s a little repetitive at times, I kept thinking I was rereading a chapter, but it was just repeat info. As an old lady at the tender age of 28, my common sense gave me all the same tips as I found in the text before I actually read the book. However, as someone that’s never been backpacking, it’s always good to get the clarification that the things your pondering are all relevant and necessary. So for that reason I’m glad I read it!
Very useful
Well structured and easy to read. Really helped me plan my gap year.
