About the Book

In his late twenties, Andre Watson left everything behind and traveled the world for seven months. When he finally came home, his friends and coworkers had a million questions. How did he save up so much money? How did he decide where to go? How did he stay safe, especially when he couldn’t speak the language? So he decided to write a book. A Weekend or the World answers all the most common questions about traveling—and many that aren’t so common—from how to pay for a yearlong trip to how to use a squat toilet. Whether you want to stay in luxury resorts, backpack across Europe, or work in a foreign country for a year, you’ll find all the skills you need in this comprehensive guide. If your heart yearns to travel but you haven’t been sure where to begin, start right here, with A Weekend or the World.
