How do you deal with pervasive poverty? How important is haggling for prices? What would you do in a medical emergency? Can an American tourist avoid paying bribes - and follow local customs? This concise paperback, although a bit dated, shares the insights and reflections of an experienced world traveler who has made more than a few mistakes. Part travelogue and part philosophy, this book includes 18 chapters organized around particular dilemas. The breezy format feels like a selection of USA Today Travel Tips for the more adventuresome (and/or socially responsible)travelers. While I often disagreed with the author's conclusions, I appreciated the balanced approach to very complicated situations. You can finish the entire book in one seating. The traveling tales will inform and warn - even as they encourage you to take reasonable risks on the road.A nice gift for someone, perhaps a college graduate, with a touch of wanderlust for the more exotic locations.
