Would you be happier living a life of freedom, going wherever you want - north in the summer and south in the winter? But how do you get free of all the encumbrances lifes managed to trap you with? Bob Davidson lives the life he loves, on the road, and he assures you that you can get free and live your life exactly as you want. Here, he tells you exactly how he did it, and it wasnt necessarily with a grand master plan, as some say you must have to do it right. Bobs journey will make you realize that anyone can do this - all you need is the will and drive. So, join Bob as he breaks the chains (mostly mental) that prevent him from living the life he wants and gets on the road again, just like in the Willy Nelson song, but with plans for staying there.

Title: The Great Psychedelic Armadillo Picnic Subtitle: A Walk in Austin Author: Kinky Friedman Narrator: Stephen Hoye Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-04 Publisher: Books on Tape Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: In this slightly insane and surprisingly practical guide to the coolest city in Texas, you'll find out which restaurant President Bush thinks is the best burger joint; you'll get a glimpse of Willie Nelson's home; and the best view of the Mexican free-tailed bats as they make their nightly flights to and from the Congress Avenue Bridge. Critic Reviews: "A good travelogue conveys a sense of place while pointing the reader towards interesting activities, destinations, places to eat and the like. A great travelogue does all this, but it also stands alone as an enjoyable read, regardless of the reader's travel plans. This quirky tour of Austin, Texas, delivers the whole enchilada."

Title: Feet on the Street Subtitle: Rambles Around New Orleans Author: Roy Blount Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-05 Publisher: Books on Tape Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: Divided into eight Rambles through different parts of the city, this audiobook covers it all: the architecture, music, romance, historical characters (including Walt Whitman and Chuck Berry), and the food. Each Ramble closes with a lagniappe, an extra treat for the reader such as a riff on Gennifer Flowers or a meditation on naked dancing, that shows us why New Orleans, as Roy sees it, is a city "like no other place in America, and yet (or therefore) the cradle of American culture".

Can mayonnaise deal with head lice? How best to teach the 36 letters of the Albanian alphabet? How would Facebook help evacuate a family from a rat-infested hovel? How do you make baklava? And through it all, how do you maintain a precious friendship that's helped you find out the best you can be?

Title: South to Alaska Subtitle: A True Story of Courage and Survival from America's Heartland to the Heart of a Dream Author: Nancy Owens Barnes Narrator: Nancy Owens Barnes Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-17 Publisher: Rushing River Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: A true story of courage and survival, South to Alaska carries listeners from the heartland of America to the last frontier... the hard way. Born in the dusty heart of Oklahoma in 1916, 10-year-old Melvin sees a photograph of a cabin in the Alaska wilderness in his fourth-grade geography book and dreams of living there. Nearly 50 years later he builds a 47-foot boat in his Arkansas backyard, launches it on the Arkansas River, and cruises 10,000 miles to Alaska by way of the Panama Canal. Melvin has never been south of the United States/Mexico border and has never been on a boat in the open ocean. Learn by doing, he says. In South to Alaska, author Nancy Owens Barnes takes listeners on two journeys. On one, listeners follow a young boy's dream that begins in a one-room, Oklahoma schoolhouse in 1926, and ends decades later on an island in southeast Alaska. On the other, listeners become a passenger aboard the Red Dog as it cruises along the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers to the Gulf of Mexico where, in 1973, Melvin begins a solo journey along the Caribbean coasts of Mexico and Central America, through the Panama Canal, then into the Pacific Ocean to Alaska. Plagued by mechanical problems, international fraud, violent ocean storms, threats of foreign jail, illness and loneliness, Melvin fears a deadly end before reaching the place of his dreams and returning to the woman he loves. South to Alaska chronicles Melvin's 10,000-mile journey through a dangerous world he knows little about, to a world he cannot forget.

Title: Desert Rats Subtitle: Adventures in the American Outback Author: Chinle Miller Narrator: Richard Henzel Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs Language: English Release date: 03-10-15 Publisher: Yellow Cat Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: For the first time in recorded history, the complete short stories of the infamous Chinle Miller have been compiled in a book that the publisher hopes won't get anyone arrested (especially the publisher). Come sit around the campfire with an archaeologist after he unwittingly brings a unique curse upon himself; watch Ernie, the county road supervisor, accidentally bomb his own highway shed; discover a cryptic form of rock art just in time for it to save your life; and discover how a Navajo uses a Hopi rain dance to start a fire in a gated development, shutting it down before it can even be built. This book has it all: epic plane crashes, albino grizzly bears, accidental movie stars, runaway rednecks, wild Aussies, and even uranium miners with vanity plates on their old Dodge Power Wagons. And you'll meet Annie, the sweet little old lady who unknowingly foils an attempt to open a cyanide pit gold mine. As a bonus, you'll discover the possible fate of Everett Ruess, the young artist who went missing in the canyons many years ago. But best of all, included are the only known writings of Cactus Rat and Yeller Cat, two of the world's finest and, shall we say, most unique, desert rats. Generously described as eco-humor, anything is fair game for Chinle's understated tongue-in-cheek writing. You'll love seeing the underdogs win for once, and if nothing else, you'll be left with a book you can innocently pass on to your favorite corrupt nature-hating developer or politician.

Sentences will run together and the grammar may not sound like your standard, stiff-written word.

Title: Rome Travel Guide Author: Anthony Roserio Narrator: Jason Zenobia Format: Unabridged Length: 42 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-17 Publisher: Anthony Roserio Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: Rome is the capital and largest city of Italy and of the Lazio region. It's the famed city of the Roman Empire, the Seven Hills, La Dolce Vita (sweet life), the Vatican City, and Three Coins in the Fountain. Rome, as a millennium-long center of power, culture and religion, having been the center of one of the globe's greatest civilizations ever, has exerted a huge influence over the world in its 2,500 years of existence. The Historic Center of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With wonderful palaces, millennium-old churches and basilicas, grand romantic ruins, opulent monuments, ornate statues, and graceful fountains, Rome has an immensely rich historical heritage and cosmopolitan atmosphere, making it one of Europe's and the world's most visited, famous, influential, and beautiful capitals. Today, Rome has a growing nightlife scene and is also seen as a shopping heaven, being regarded as one of the fashion capitals of the world (some of Italy's oldest jewelry and clothing establishments were founded in the city). With so many sights and things to do, Rome can truly be classified a "global city". Rome has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. In the winter months, daytime temperatures are usually pleasant and range from 10-15 degrees Celsius, while nighttime temperatures tend to stay slightly above freezing. That being said, the occasional cold snap can cause temperatures to fall below freezing, and it is not unheard of for light flurries of snow to fall on occasion, though accumulation is rare, and major snowstorms are known to occur only once every 20-25 years.

Title: To the New Owners Subtitle: A Martha's Vineyard Memoir Author: Madeleine Blais Narrator: Laura Copland Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: In the 1970s, Madeleine Blais's in-laws purchased a vacation house on Martha's Vineyard for the exorbitant sum of $80,000. Two-point-two miles down a poorly marked, one lane dirt road, the house was better termed a shack - it had no electricity, no modern plumbing, the roof leaked, and mice had invaded the walls. It was perfect. Sitting on Tisbury Great Pond - well-stocked with oysters and crab for foraged dinners - the house faced the ocean and the sky, and though it was eventually replaced by a sturdier structure, the ethos remained the same: no heat, no TV, and no telephone. Instead, there were countless hours at the beach, meals cooked and savored with friends, nights talking under the stars, until at last, the house was sold in 2014. To the New Owners is Madeleine Blais's charming, evocative memoir of this house, and of the Vineyard itself - from the history of the island and its famous visitors to the ferry, the pie shops, the quirky charms and customs, and the abundant natural beauty. But more than that, this is an elegy for a special place.

Title: Les Berberes et Moi: Part 3 [The Berbers and Me: Part 3] Author: Magdalena Wasiura Narrator: Deanna Delaney Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Cv Publications Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: Part three of Magdalena's journal describes broadly "the forbidden" subjects: intimacy and drinking in the context of Islam that is supported by numerous tales from the Quran, and how young people will turn the prohibited into pleasure. She depicts the growing tension between her and her Muslim family and the cultural clash, something that one will not get in package holidays. "Lasciate ogne speranca, voi ch'intrate": it's Dante's invitation to Hell; here however, it invites one to hammam.

Title: Interstate Subtitle: Hitchhiking Through the State of a Nation Author: Julian Sayarer Narrator: Joe Jameson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: Recruited to work on a documentary project, Julian goes to New York convinced he has hit big time at last. Finding the project cancelled, he wanders the city streets and, with nowhere else to go, decides to set out hitchhiking for San Francisco. Revisiting this timeless American journey finds an unseen nation in rough shape. Along the road are homeless people and anarchists who have dropped out of society altogether, and blue-collar Americans who seem to have lost all meaning in forgotten towns and food deserts. Helped along by roadside communities and encounters that somehow keep a sense of optimism alive, Interstate grapples with the fault lines in US society. It tells a tale of Steinbeck and Kerouac, set against the indifference of the vast US landscape and the frustrated energy of American culture and politics at the start of a new century. Critic Reviews: "On The Road for the Occupy generation." (Open Democracy)

Title: For Tibet, with Love Subtitle: A Beginner's Guide to Changing the World Author: Isabel Losada Narrator: Isabel Losada Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-30-17 Publisher: Isabel Losada Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: "Sometimes you just have to do something, don't you? Sometimes an injustice comes along and you think, 'No, this cannot be', and rather than just turn off the TV, you know it's time to act." So begins Isabel Losada's extraordinary For Tibet with Love, in which she explores whether it's possible for an ordinary person to change the world, just a little, and if something so serious can be achieved with joy in one's heart. From visits to Nepal and Tibet, to meetings with the Chinese ambassador and Tibetan awareness-raising groups, Isabel single-handedly hatches a stunning PR coup involving Nelson's Column, a 15-meter banner and a base-jumping parachutist that captured headlines worldwide. And then she meets the Dalai Lama.... Warm and funny, moving and thought-provoking, the astonishing For Tibet with Love celebrates the fact that we can make a difference.

Title: Travels of a Renaissance Man Author: Ezekiel Phillips Narrator: Ezekiel Phillips Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 06-09-17 Publisher: Ezekiel Phillips Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: Travels of a Renaissance Man is one man's experience discovering what lies beyond the cities and borders of America. Ezekiel Phillips' travel journey began in 2007 when popular television personality and philanthropist Tavis Smiley, along with his pastor Bishop Noel Jones, showed love by sponsoring Phillips on a mission trip to the African city of Accra in the nation of Ghana. From that experience, the California native spring boarded into more than 16 different international excursions. Combine these life changing experiences with Phillips' dynamic film-making ability, and you get a rare behind the scenes glimpse into life on the ground in less developed nations like the Philippines and Haiti. Ezekiel Phillips has risen beyond the confines of his Los Angeles neighborhood, known as "The Jungles", to become a 2011 graduate of Morehouse College with a goal to inspire others through his travels. His self-proclaimed guerilla-style film-making takes a no permits, no permission, bold, and sometimes dangerous approach to show viewers life raw and uncut as it happens on international soil. This Renaissance man documents his travels with video and shares them with his loyal followers. The experiences captured during his travels enable him to add value to people's lives that have yet to embrace globalization and travel. As a result of exposing himself to new cultures, communities, and people, Phillips collaborates with like-minded young adults for both personal and communal gain. According to Ezekiel, the next step to his maturing process is building strong relationships with emerging young leaders to bring social change across the globe. Travel is only a small portion of this vision. Phillips says the evolution of his character through travel is allowing him to embrace his responsibility and calling to bring about real change and upward mobility in ghettos across the globe.

Title: Lean Travel Subtitle: Travel Light with a Full Heart Author: Paul A. Akers Narrator: Paul A. Akers Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-17 Publisher: FastCap Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: Less is More. Give more and take less...from how you act, to how you pack. About 10 years ago, I decided that I wanted to become a world-class giver. You might be thinking, "Why are you telling me this at the beginning of a book called Lean Travel?" The reason is quite simple. In order to have a great travel experience, you must approach it from the standpoint that you are going to treat all the people you encounter with dignity and respect, understanding that they are working hard to help you have a great trip. If you regularly give them your respect, your smile, your encouragement, and your gratitude, your travel will be a blessing! In addition to being grateful, another way to make your travel experience more fulfilling is to live by the adage that "less is more". In a Lean Travel context, this means travel light. For example, I bought a pair of high-quality Keen sandals, thinking they would be the ultimate travel sandal. After a few trips around the world, however, I realized they were really quite bulky and heavy. They were also a bit overkill for what I needed, which was mostly when walking to the hotel pool or restaurant. So, in adherence to my philosophy of traveling light, I found a very inexpensive pair of sandals for five bucks and I turned in my $70 pair of Keens. This is a perfect example of lean travel, because it demonstrates how a simple two-second improvement can make travel more effective and enjoyable. My suitcase weighed about four pounds less, everything packed up easier, and the new sandals were absolutely perfect for my needs. As you start this book, I want you to understand the two main parts of my philosophy. First, what you give in the travel experience will have a profound impact on how much you enjoy it. Second, the less you bring and the lighter you travel, the more you will be able to feel and adapt to the fantastic trade winds of the travel experience. So travel with a full heart and a light suitcase!

Title: Falling Uphill Author: Scott Stoll Narrator: Scott Stoll Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 04-13-17 Publisher: The Argonauts Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues Publisher's Summary: Re-live Falling Uphill with a new afterword that paints the journey in a new light that only time can tell. If you could do anything, what would you do? Falling Uphill is the story of one man's quest for happiness around the world on a bicycle. In one week, Scott Stoll lost his job, his best friend, his girlfriend and his confidence. Disillusioned with society, full of angst, suffering from depression and with nothing left to lose Stoll asked himself a question: "If I only have one life, one chance, if I could do anything, what would I do?" His answer resulted in a four-year and 25,752-mile odyssey around the world by bicycle using nothing more than a paper map as a guide. Stoll searched for answers to the great mysteries of life, vowing to find happiness or die trying. The quest wasn't easy. He was imprisoned, held hostage, mugged, run over, suspected of terrorism, accused of espionage, nearly trampled by elephants, wounded, diseased, heartbroken - he nearly died a dozen times. But more importantly, Stoll discovered the wonders of the world, kindness among strangers, the meaning of life, peace, love, faith and - Yes! - in the last place left to look, he found happiness. Re-live and re-imagine an archetypal adventure as a man stumbles through moments of pure survival and moments of pure enlightenment.
