A week ago I was rooting through my projects folder and I came across something that I had somehow forgotten: a full length book I wrote about Life Nomadic. I gave it a quick read-through and thought, “man… there’s some great stuff in here! Why didn’t I release it?”

So, I’m going to release it soon. I’ve spent a good part of the last week doing some light editing, rearranging, and adding in sections that I hadn’t quite finished.

The book has a lot of stories and anecdotes in it, but it’s really a manual for the nomad or hardcore traveler. It talks about why to be a nomad, what it’s like, what to expect, and how to deal with some of the challenges. About half of the book is dedicated to logistics: how to choose gear, how to pack it, where to stay, how to get there, etc.

The best chapter, in my opinion, is the air travel chapter. My goal when writing it was to make the chapter so valuable and practical that the whole book would be worth purchasing, even for someone who only travels once or twice a year. I include every tip and strategy I have for air travel, including a bunch of stuff I’ve never seen written anywhere else.

The general theme of the book is this: become versatile, see the world and experience everything it has to offer, but do it as cheaply and intelligently as possible. If that resonates with you, you’ll probably enjoy the book a lot.

I haven’t decided whether I’m going to release it as an ebook, physical book, or both. I thought about breaking it up into several mini books on different travel subjects, but I think that might be annoying.

Once Todd finishes editing it (*nudge* *nudge*) I’ll post a really cool video clip from this year’s Life Nomadic trip, and I think I’ll post a sample chapter or two as well. So if you enjoy Life Nomadic related stuff, you’ll have a lot to look forward to in the next couple weeks.

Have you read Chris Guillebeau’s Discount Airfare Guide? If so, does your book provide more/better/different info than his guide?

Hey Eric,

No, I haven’t read it. My hunch is that it has different and probably better information. As with anything I sell, I’ll have a 100% refund policy so that you can check for yourself.

Will there be a chapter on how you make your earnings in the book?

Tynan is this book going to be a collection of stories about your travels or will it be more of a how to guide

@Gruntie: Yes, there is a chapter on making money on the road, including the ways I make money

@Faramarz: It’s more of a how to guide, intended to be very practical and immediately applicable, but I weave in a lot of stories to illustrate things.

I like ebooks so long as they’re properly formatted, searchable, and have i.e. a linked table of contents. I hate getting an “ebook” which is actually a Microsoft Word doc that someone just exported to PDF without a second thought.

Really looking forward to this!

LOVE the cover design, awesome work.

You are probably already considering this, but my suggestion would be to make the eBook free. Then (optionally) sell a paper copy via Lulu.com (which will get it on Amazon too).

This seems to be the best combination from other authors I’ve seen and it’s how I released my own eBook. If it’s good people will buy the paper copy to give as gifts, take notes, or finish reading it once they start with the eBook, etc.

Good luck!

Tynan,

Thanks for your reply! I will definately want a copy. Will the book be available for download to a kindle/Iphone?

I’ll definitely buy a copy as I’m heading on the road south next month. I do hope you sell it as an ebook though… I’m trying to travel light…

Sep 26th, 2009 @ 12:42 pm

Releasing it as an ebook sounds simpler. I think often people equate free with no value, so I definitely think you should charge for it.
