5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, 8 Jun 2008

By	Sofia - See all my reviews

The Contrarian Traveler's Guide to Getting More for Less, does what it claims, and proves an intriguing read besides.

Expect the low down on factors that drive pricing - be it for tickets, destinations, accommodation....or activities and food once you arrive. Market forces and psychology that contribute to overpricing are deftly exposed, and pointers to dodge the traps go well beyond the obvious.

The research effort shows: key resources are provided; price comparisons are presented in simple tables which make startling and important points; and anecdotes from experts relay unique perspectives.

Throughout, the author keeps his sights firmly on the travel experience. For instance, intertwined into the advice, expect the odd reference to flamenco classes, smelling papayas, sleeping on the deck at night, and the like. This helps make the book the good read that it is. What's more, the advice is placed in context - there's a time to budget, and a time to sit back and splurge. By the end of the 170 odd pages, readers should be ready to disentangle the confusion of information out there, home in on the essentials, and free up time and finances to enjoy all that travel offers. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Travel doesn't have to cost the earth, 10 Jun 2007

By	Michael Buckley (Canada) - See all my reviews

Travel doesn't have to cost the earth

Travel doesn't have to cost the earth. If you want to stretch the travel time without compromising on the experiences, reading this excellent primer by Tim Leffel could be just the ticket. In fact, travel at a cheaper rate often boosts the chances of meaningful encounters and experiences on the road. Leffel points you toward destinations that offer fine quality at low rates, and shares his secrets for getting more bang for your buck in a host of other areas. A dozen other authors and experts weigh in with money-saving tips--from which side of Fiji to head for, to apartment exchanges--to dining in markets to sample great food.

This concise book is packed with down-to-earth advice on money-saving strategies. The thing is, even if you just pick up two or three really useful ideas from this book, then it has paid for itself--and a lot more besides. And Leffel knows the ropes: he is editor of a gritty online magazine called Perceptive Travel. Highly recommended book for the savvy traveller.
