With a new foreword by Tim Ferriss - "Vagabonding easily remains in my top-10 list of life-changing books. Why? Because one incredible trip, especially a long-term trip, can change your life forever. And Vagabonding teaches you how to travel (and think), not just for one trip, but for the rest of your life."--Tim Ferriss, from the foreword There's nothing like vagabonding: taking time off from your normal life--from six weeks to four months to two years--to discover and experience the world on your own terms. In this one-of-a-kind handbook, veteran travel writer Rolf Potts explains how anyone armed with an independent spirit can achieve the dream of extended overseas travel. Now completely revised and updated, Vagabonding is an accessible and inspiring guide to - financing your travel time- determining your destination
- adjusting to life on the road
- working and volunteering overseas

"A crucial reference for any budget wanderer."--Time
"The book is a meditation on the joys of hitting the road. . . . It's also a primer for those with a case of pent-up wanderlust seeking to live the dream."--USA Today "I couldn't put this book down. It's a whole different ethic of travel. . . . Potts's] practical advice might just convince you to enjoy that open-ended trip of a lifetime."--Rick Steves "Potts wants us to wander, to explore, to embrace the unknown, and, finally, to take our own damn time about it. I think this is the most sensible book of travel-related advice ever written."--Tim Cahill, founding editor of Outside

pleasant touch and color texture - not all colors are the same
I usually go for 100% cotton only but I really like the color and price of these sheets. Surprisingly, they feel very nice and fit my 12" mattress without being under stretched or over stretched. Non stretch sheet can act as a light blanket in hot summer days. I ordered a few more set of sheets in different color. The dark heather grey felt different, more coarse and not as smooth. It seems that color is 50% cotton 50% polyester while the mint was 60% cotton 40% polyester which for me made a very big difference in the manner it felt. So I returned the dark heather grey one.

So thin you can see through and have holes after second wash!
I cannot understand all these high reviews! People don’t seem to be using these sheets!
I mean don’t get me wrong they COULD be 5-star worthy and I would’ve given 5 stars, if IF the quality was just better.
I mean these things have nice colors, are super soft. The duvet cover has a zipper. I sleep well in them. A dream! All I wanted and what I was looking for!
So why only a 1 star review you may be asking now?
Well, the zipper is very flimsy and out of super weak and cheap plastic, but the worst is, that the material (the fabric) is so thin, that you can look through!
I washed the whole set twice now. Cold as per label. And the pillow covers have holes around the edges! Not because there was something sharp in the dryer (or washer) with them (I washed and dried the duvet cover separately from the rest), NO. Just because the fabric is so darn THIN! It’s unbelievable!
To the manufacturer: You could have made a really, really nice product, if you wouldn’t be greedy or soulless and would have just used a decent fabric thickness.
This is ridiculous!
I don’t know if all this made in china (well in this case Pakistan) crap is just made to take all our money for shoddy quality or to annoy the heck out of us because they can…
If anyone in Pakistan reads this review (HAHA I know): please please make the same product, but use higher quality materials. Thicker fabric which you cannot see through and which will not rip or get holes after 2x washing. A tad better zipper, that doesn’t feel so flimsy that you need to be super careful to not break it, and you have a perfect product!
Unfortunately, the way this was made, I can only give 1 star. Please be smarter than me and believe all the 1-star reviews that talk about how thin the fabric is!
Please see the attached photos for an impression of the fabric quality.

Incredibly Soft & Cozy Jersey Sheets!
Size: King, Color: Oatmeal
I am in love with these jersey sheets! They feel just like a worn-in, favorite t-shirt—soft, breathable, and oh-so-cozy. The fabric is stretchy but still holds its shape, and it keeps me warm without overheating. Even after multiple washes, the sheets haven’t pilled or faded, which is a huge plus. The deep pockets fit my mattress perfectly, and they stay in place all night. If you're looking for ultra-comfy, lightweight sheets that feel amazing against your skin, these are a must-have! Highly recommend!

You will want to sleep on these sheets!
Color: Adelia Gray, Size: Queen Extra Deep Pocket
Buy these sheets! I have only slept on 100% percale cotton. No blends, no sateen mix, just pure percale cotton which these sheets deliver. The finish is soft, not rough or scratchy as some describe. Cotton, is not rough. Percale, however, may not be. for everyone. They like a like iron to keep them unwrinkled and smooth. Some describe the finish as crisp. Again, crisp, is not scratchy. Crisp is an old-fashioned texture that appeals to any who like to sleep on the cooler side. Not cold, simply cool. Cotton breaths, other fabrics do not. The fabric is light, but **not thin. Again, cotton percale is a lofty drape but with a cotton that breathes nicely. II purchased the extra deep pocket, queen size with an accurate fit. The days of misfitted bottom sheets are gone. These, slide on with ease. They are not oversized or sloppy. The elastic hugs the mattress with comfort. I did not need to struggle or attempt to stretch the fabric to encase my mattress. It was a proper fitting, fitted sheet. The elastic is plenty. The drape of the percale is perfection. The drop on both sides of the bed is again proper. Not overly generous and hanging to low, nor too short that they create a tug-o-war when sleeping to keep covered. They fall to the edge of the mattesss which is what I was wanting. These sheets also launder very nicely in cold water. The colors do not bleed. I dryer my sheets on perm-press despite percale is not that finish. It helps reducing wrinkling. When I hear my dryer chime, I instantly remove the sheets and lightly press them with an iron so the fabric performs as percale should. For those who like a wrinkled sheet that is soft, you will also be pleased. These are wonderful sheets that fulfill their product description, 100%. My only request is for more prints and colors like the rest of the other size mattresses. Queen, extra deep pocket is limited with selection which is unfortunate as more mattresses are made thicker, denser and with a struggle to purchase properly fitting sheets. These sheets are sized correctly to fit 22" and perhaps 23" mattresses. The days of small fitted sheets are past tense. Oh, also the pillowcases are generous. I sleep with regular sized pillows but this company cut the pillowcases to allow for queen or larger pillows so there is again, plenty of room. I am delighted to know this company and hope more prints will become available for extra deep pocket sleepers.
