13 - Philosophy - Vagabond Globetrotting 3This is the Philosophy chapter of the book Vagabond Globetrotting 3 read by the author, Marcus L. Endicott: "Travel is experience, and has traditionally been considered the ultimate education. Travel will not only teach you about the world, but about yourself as well. It is also the ultimate sport, includes every possibility of life, and tests every faculty. Travel is both work and play. The quantity and quality of experience afforded by travel surpasses imagination. It is intensified living, at times even approaching the ecstatic." |

Endicott: "The hospitality industry has been particularly concerned with greening its image, including consuming less energy, less water and by using more renewable products. However, people to people exchanges, hospitality networks, home stays and farm stays, home exchanging and just plain visiting family and friends is even more sustainable. Local people will benefit more from your business if you stay at locally owned and operated places rather than multinational corporate chains." |

07 - Health / Part 2 - Vagabond Globetrotting 3This is the Health chapter (Part 2 of 2) of the book Vagabond Globetrotting 3 read by the author, Marcus L. Endicott: "Burns caused by ultraviolet solar radiation are essentially no different from those caused by fire or scalding. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause burning before you realize it, even on cloudy days. Thin air at higher altitudes causes burns more easily. Sunburn can affect exposed skin, lips, and eyes. Sunburned feet can be a particular problem for the unwary. Special care should be taken not to fall asleep in direct sun; for this reason, it is extremely unwise to drink alcohol when out alone on the beach." |

06 - Food - Vagabond Globetrotting 3This is the Food chapter of the book Vagabond Globetrotting 3 read by the author, Marcus L. Endicott: "Industrially processed and packaged foods are not only often more expensive, but usually less healthy. Industrial processing and packaging also consumes more resources of the Earth, as well as creating more garbage. Transportation of these products consumes additional energy resources. For this reason, imported products are less sustainable than local ones. Locally produced food benefits both the people producing it and those preparing it, not to mention your own health." |

05 - Transport - Vagabond Globetrotting 3This is the Transport chapter of the book Vagabond Globetrotting 3 read by the author, Marcus L. Endicott: "Transport is a particularly big issue in the sustainability of tourism. There are a many ways to travel more sustainably. Traveling cooperatively is usually more sustainable than traveling alone. For instance, ride sharing and public transportation is more sustainable certainly than driving alone. There are also many non-polluting forms of transport, such as bicycling, small boats—paddling or sailing, even animal transport like horses is more sustainable than private cars. Jet-setting is not ecological." |

Endicott: "Minimizing materialism and consumption is both cheaper and more sustainable. Industrially manufactured things, such as clothing and equipment, are better bought used than new, in other words recycled. It is better to buy new things, especially handmade or labor intensive things, locally at your destination, thus benefiting the Earth and the people you visit, as well as yourself." |

03 - Money - Vagabond Globetrotting 3This is the Money chapter of the book Vagabond Globetrotting 3 read by the author, Marcus L. Endicott: "Budgeting contributes to conservation of resources by curbing expensive consumption, especially of imported items that not only cost more but also use more energy resources being transported. However, saving money at the expense of a fair exchange of energy with your hosts is not very sustainable; because the local population is not materially benefiting from your visit. This is called fair trade in tourism or pro-poor tourism." |

01 - Information - Vagabond Globetrotting 3This is the Information chapter of the book Vagabond Globetrotting 3 read by the author, Marcus L. Endicott: "Intelligence is the ability to get and use information. Increased intelligence has been the hallmark of success throughout evolution. Not surprisingly, it is also the key to successful travel. Too much information can be just as bad as too little information. It is important not to feel overloaded with too much information. Research need not be torturous. Do no more than you are comfortable with. The right amount of information cannot only make your trip cheaper but more sustainable as well. Ignorance can be expensive and wasteful; so, the more useful, or better information you have, the less money you will need and the more conscious you will be." |

Endicott: "I was born traveling—in the last year of the "baby boom", 1959—and seem to have been traveling all my life.... My father was a Fulbright scholar studying in Melbourne, Australia, when I was born. He had met and married my mother after she finished working for the U.S. Embassy in London. After touring New Zealand by Volkswagen kombi, my parents returned with me via passenger ship to their home in Atlanta, Georgia, through the Panama Canal to Florida." |
