Vagabond Fieldnotes

These are the field notes from my continuous vagabond journey around the world. Herein are tricks, grafts, and strategies that could be of use to the traveler. All hostels, hotels, or restaurants that I include in here I highly recommend, as they are probably really cheap or else provide some other sort of solace for the hardened and gristled vagabond. These are my field notes.


Google
 


These field notes are meant to work in two ways:

1. They are meant to be found in organic searches for travelers who are searching for specific travel information.
2. They are meant to be written down in travel notebooks for reference when you get near the source of the information.

The field notes are sometimes published on Vagabond Fieldnotes.com, which uses a Blogger template, and the individual pages are linked from this site. I do this for reasons of brevity, as I usually must pay for internet time by the hour while traveling.
