Publisher's Synopsis
Perhaps you remember a time in your youth when you set off to see the world with only a pack on your back and limited funds in your pocket?
Well that's what we did, but we did it when we were in our mid-sixties! With only a backpack and little planning, we set off and explored Central America and Southeast Asia for four months at a time, and did it on a shoe-string budget: In Central America, we spent less than $40 per day per person for food, accommodation and travel; and in Southeast Asia, less than $30 per day.
In this book, we show you how we did it: where we went, where we stayed, how we travelled and, most importantly, how little we paid. We also share stories about the interesting people we met; give you tips on how to save dollars; and tell you about the fascinating sights we discovered on "roads less traveled" as we ventured through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama for four months in 2011, and through Bali, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand for four months in 2013.
The paperback version of this book also contains forty-four beautiful photos to inspire and motivate you; three summaries of where we stayed, their amenities and how much we paid; seven color maps of the countries we visited, as well as an index of cities and towns for easy referencing
