Titled the same as his site, I was enthused to review his guide, No Debt World Travel, and share my thoughts here on A Little Adrift – because I figured – hey, a lot of RTW newbies find my site and wouldn’t it be just swell to tell them how they can travel the world without debt.

Our guest traveler for the next three weeks gets mad props from me for making the commitment to travel around the world without taking a single flight.
