Matt gives such a great overview of alternative forms of travel, and all of the various resources to make it happen. He doesn't give a shit if you have money or not, his mission is to let you know that travel is doable all at levels and in many, many different ways.
I've read this book before when it came out but just recently reread it in one night while biketouring as a refresher. It's definitely a book you can come back to and learn something again, especially when you're able to embark on a new kinda' trip (like idk... being a BOAT PUNK!!). This book is basically an overview of the vast amount of travel information on his website, Squat The Planet, but it is a nice resource to have when you don't feel like scrolling through tons of forums and want information quickly handed to you in a singular book.
There are a few grammatical errors in this book, but who gives a shit? I feel it is part of the appeal, since this is a DIY and indie work. It's like when you're making a zine and the copy machine prints a few bits of fuzzies on the page, making you realize this was handmade and crafted by one or two human beings rather than robots.
Plus, I might be partial to the illustrations in this book because I drew them, but I do have to say they are incredibly fun and play a great role in this read.
