Product Description

Product Description

AWOL: absent without leave; absent from one’s post or duty without official permission but without intending to desert.

Originally a military term, it gradually entered the vernacular for when someone goes missing unexpectedly. Jennifer Barclay and Amy Logan thought it fit well with the kind of travel pieces they wanted to publish--irreverent but thoughtful, emotionally honest and opinionated, bold and provocative.

For those who dream of having no fixed address, and those happy simply to read about it, AWOL is filled with entertaining, enriching and edifying stories of people getting away from the familiar. AWOL: Tales for Travel-Inspired Minds is dedicated to the perspectives we gain when away from our regular circumstances.

not your average "the world is great" kind of travel book 19 Feb 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book gives us a more realistic view of travel. It is not filled with pretty, glossed pictures, but of stories, and souvenirs.
Each story has it's own style, and that helps in giving a more profound view of the world, and of travelling around the world. This is not a sap-happy kind of travel book, and therefore is for those that don't have that sort of idealistic view of visiting other places.

I found this book to be a wonderful collection of stories. The words on the back give it perfect justice in saying this is for those that are happy living with no fixed address, but also for those that are happy to just read about it.
This is not a coffee-table book.
