The Long-Term Traveler’s Guide is the definitive planning resource for all those looking to cut loose from the standard path and head out to see the world for weeks, months, or years on end. Whether you want to eat gelato in Italy, ride an elephant in Thailand, climb the Great Wall of China, go scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, or do it all, planning for the adventure is unlike any other form of travel.
The 248 page guide covers all aspects of the planning process from deciding to go, developing your itinerary, saving for the trip, acquiring visas, packing, finding your style on the road, money management, finding the best food, overland travel methods, proof of onward travel, and much, much more. There are so many topics included that we can't list them all here, so instead we took a screen cap of the Table of Contents so you can see what the guide is all about!

Read a Chapter
We don't want you to take our word for it that The Long-Term Traveler's Guide is going to turn the travel world upside-down, we want you to see for yourself. To show you what the guide is all about, we've provided two chapters for everyone to read! The two chapters that we provided are some of the most difficult topics that all long-term travelers face:
- Visa Acquisition
- RTW Plane Tickets vs Independent
Reviews of the Guide
The following are excerpts of some of the best reviews we have found for The Long-Term Traveler's Guide:
- “I really really love the book. There is just so much in there I never even thought of. It’s been a great book to have and I have already told some of my travelling friends about it! So much better than Lonely Planet’s (sort of equivalent) Gap Year book – I also have that at home and information just isn’t as helpful!” – Annie N. Winner of the First Official Copy
- "The Long Term Traveler’s Guide is geared towards those who are dreaming of long term travel but just haven’t been able to see their dream come true. It answers questions you maybe didn’t even know to ask and provides a great framework of how to go about making that dream a reality.” – Gillian and Jason, One Giant Step
- "Jeremy goes into detail about practically every travel topic you can think of from getting your visa to deciding which underwear you should buy. While he gives you a plethora of information he does it without boring you and making you feel like you’re reading a travel novel. He shares a generous amount of knowledge and will help you build up the courage to take the next step towards fulfilling your travel dreams" - Tours4Fun. Major Travel Company

Very exciting! Can't wait to see the final version - I know you put a lot of work into it.
Thanks Adam. Where can I send your copy? :)
VERY nicely done, Jeremy! All so well thought out, and the 2 preview chapters prove both your mettle as a writer, and that you definitely "know your stuff". Bravo - you can be rightly proud of what was no doubt your own "Long-term" literary journey. I look forward to the series on the "How To..." write a travel book series.
Shoot, I might even try my hand at a book on turning your comfy life upside-down to move to some g-forsaken rice paddy halfway 'round the globe, and start a whole new career as a 60-something EFL teacher! ;)
Thanks Dyanne! I appreciate the thumbs up! I've been finishing up the writing a travel book series over the last week or so while waiting for proofs to come in, so I hope the first one to start sometime this week!
As for a book about moving your comfy life to a g-forsaken rice paddy.. I'd buy it.. but you have to keep the phrase "g-forsaken rice paddy" in it somewhere.
Congrats! What an achievement! Hopefully this can fund a lot more long term travel for you!
