reviewed Adventure Travel in the Third World: Everything You Need to Know to Survive in Remote and Hostile Destinations on January 14, 2010 Adventure Travel in the Third World
Nicely done. Not full of chest beating macho crappola but a commonsense and reasonable approach to travel in the third world. Much was said about respecting other cultures, being just plain polite, and if your life depends on help from the indigenous folks you might just want to drink the spit beer so as not to piss 'em off.
