Trade Review"
Rediscovering Travel sets itself apart by making the 'case that low-budget, minimally planned travel can be more rewarding than a journey insulated from risk and serendipity.' The author spent years as the 'Frugal Traveler' columnist for the
New York Times, so many of his anecdotes and suggestions are unmatched in both functionality and entertainment value. Indeed, 'travelers both timid and daring will find plenty of useful advice in this perceptive and provocative volume." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Covering topics including the reasons why we travel, safety and risks, effective technology use, and the ethics of travel, he writes for both families with one week of vacation per year and solo travelers with months to spend abroad. Kugel’s sense of humor and varied experiences make the book an enjoyable, informative read. Whether their ideal vacation is a week on a Caribbean beach or two months motorbiking around Vietnam, readers will feel encouraged to reconsider how they approach their next trip away from home." -- Booklist
"In this insightful and fun book, Kugel… takes on the increasingly commercial and technological aspects of 21st-century travel. His advice will stimulate travelers' curiosity while rescuing a sense of adventure that has been eclipsed by technology and corporate tourism… Kugel's advice for discovery-filled travel is thought-provoking and surprisingly simple." -- Publishers Weekly
