Dreaming about taking a trip of a lifetime? How about making it a lifetime of trips traveling the world! For over 35 years John Bucher Herr and his wife Martha have been doing just that. John shows in his books how to experience the world in comfort by avoiding travel agents and dealing directly with the airlines and hotels. By learning the difference between a tourist and a traveler. John learned to succeed at luxury travel without the luxurious price tag. Why pay $75/night for a hotel when the same hotel will lease a room for $700/month? Why pay full price when you can snag deals from airlines who have unsold seats? If your bucket list is long, the odds are with you for many experiences for travel at low cost.


John describes and photographs the life, history, and sites of the cities visited along the 7,000-mile trek, beginning in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Ulan-Ude, Listbyanka (Larch Village), Irkutsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Sviyazhsk, Moscow, and St. Petersburg. Enjoy the happenings that have been influenced by the Trans Siberian Railroad in its 100-year existence.
