Why this book?

One need not fly to the end of the world and risk life and limb to experience adventures. A week’s cycling tour, a drive of several days by car without a clear plan, a hut to hut walk in the Alps or the exploration of a foreign country under one’s own steam can be very exciting. The independent traveller may at times face difficulties, as things do not always turn out as expected. However, the reward will consist of surprises and intense experiences. Maybe this book will encourage some readers who are reluctant to travel independently to go out and take on the world.

Parallel to this edition, a German-language version is published by tredition under the title Reiseabenteuer 1950-2018. Europa, die Americas und Africa.
