The Coincidental Traveler: Adventure Travel for Budget-minded Grown-ups

By Rob Roy

The Coincidental Traveler, by Rob and Jaki Roy, stays true to its sub-title: Adventure Travel for Budget-minded Grown-ups: "Adventure Travel" ... Hike, meet, climb, snorkel, see, do, feel, taste, witness, play, volunteer, engage. "Budget-minded" ... local accommodation and transport, couch-surf, camping. "Grown-ups" ... seniors, 50's to 70's, experienced travelers ... or not! Rob and Jaki share simple workable strategies gleaned over a lifetime; strategies for creating exceptional travel experiences by "cultivating coincidences." The requirements? A basic level of fitness, willingness to depart from one's comfort zone, free time, and (a little bit of) money.& ; On one recent journey, the authors were invited into a sacred Maori marae in the Cook Islands, witnessed an exploding volcano on Tanna in Vanuatu, canoed and steamboated Australia's Murray River, played cricket in a New South Wales goat field, hiked across Rarotonga, snorkeled New Zealand's Poor Knights Islands, and joined in an island church servicein three languageson Nguna (followed by a breakfast of fresh fruit on a perfect beach).
