![]() ![]() Bjørn Christian Tørrissen is on a mission to teach the world to travel off the beaten path. His book, One for the Road, published in January 2008, is all about independent travel, as the reader accompanies him vicariously backpacking through three quite different regions of the world: Patagonia and Antarctica, Southern Africa and Russia from Vladivostok to Moscow on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Go to his One For The Road website to download a text-only version of the book for free in Mobipocket format for reading on your Kindle or as a PDF document with full text and images. Bjørn has traveled extensively through thirty countries and describes himself as "the kind of guy who always finishes his vegetables and never forgets to brush his teeth...fond of reading but not an intellectual, in good shape and quite likely to spend the day exploring on foot, whether it's in a city, a jungle or a desert. In short, just the type of person who would make an amiable traveling companion. Check out the author's One For The Road blog, leave a donation if you like, and let Bjørn know if you enjoyed the book. It should be available as a tree book on Amazon in the near future and he encourages you to review it there. Props to Jan at the Kindle Reader blog for this link. |
