RV the World: Introduction

The easiest, most comfortable, and least expensive way to see the entire world is by RV. This is the theory that launched author David Rich and his wife, Mary, on a seventeen-year journey that took them through 170 countries and every continent except Antarctica, though they did visit Antarctica from Ushuaia, southernmost city in the world. In RV the World, Rich explains exactly how they did it, from starting out to sail around the world but giving up for want of mechanical skills, flying to Germany and buying an RV to travel Europe, North Africa, Scandinavia, and the Middle East for three years before heading to Mexico and Central America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, most of Africa and much of Asia. RV the World relates their adventures, the incredible folks they met, and what they saw along the way. Here you'll find information about how much it costs to live and travel in an RV worldwide, how to buy and sell an RV in a foreign country, how to stay healthy abroad, how to camp for free, and much, much more. Part practical guide, part travelogue, RV the World takes the reader on a tour of the world, highlighting warm and friendly people all over the world, fantastic cities, national parks, antiquities, and hiking spots along the way.
