Publisher's Summary:

Hi, this is Bill the Geek, Bill Dallas Lewis, Dartmouth College, Ohio State University Grad, full-fledged Geek.

This is part two of American Living Large in Mexico: Making the Move, the Real Deal.

In part one, I went over the basics, but in this part, I get into the very specifics of making the move to Mexico and working online so that you can earn good money online from countries that pay good money. Countries like Great Britain, The United States, Australia, and other English speaking countries where people will pay you online and this money will go into your USA bank account.

How this book was written:

The following text is from me talking into my computer, going from chapter idea to the next chapter idea. It was not written, the text all comes from the spoken word. After I recorded the whole thing, I had a wonderful person in Europe transcribe the voice into text.

Thus, this book is like listening to someone, me, talking. Sentences will run together and the grammar may not sound like your standard, stiff-written word.

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues

Publisher's Summary:

Rome is the capital and largest city of Italy and of the Lazio region. It's the famed city of the Roman Empire, the Seven Hills, La Dolce Vita (sweet life), the Vatican City, and Three Coins in the Fountain. Rome, as a millennium-long center of power, culture and religion, having been the center of one of the globe's greatest civilizations ever, has exerted a huge influence over the world in its 2,500 years of existence.

The Historic Center of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With wonderful palaces, millennium-old churches and basilicas, grand romantic ruins, opulent monuments, ornate statues, and graceful fountains, Rome has an immensely rich historical heritage and cosmopolitan atmosphere, making it one of Europe's and the world's most visited, famous, influential, and beautiful capitals. Today, Rome has a growing nightlife scene and is also seen as a shopping heaven, being regarded as one of the fashion capitals of the world (some of Italy's oldest jewelry and clothing establishments were founded in the city). With so many sights and things to do, Rome can truly be classified a "global city".

Rome has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. In the winter months, daytime temperatures are usually pleasant and range from 10-15 degrees Celsius, while nighttime temperatures tend to stay slightly above freezing. That being said, the occasional cold snap can cause temperatures to fall below freezing, and it is not unheard of for light flurries of snow to fall on occasion, though accumulation is rare, and major snowstorms are known to occur only once every 20-25 years.

Title: To the New Owners

Subtitle: A Martha's Vineyard Memoir

Author: Madeleine Blais

Narrator: Laura Copland

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-03-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues

Publisher's Summary:

In the 1970s, Madeleine Blais's in-laws purchased a vacation house on Martha's Vineyard for the exorbitant sum of $80,000. Two-point-two miles down a poorly marked, one lane dirt road, the house was better termed a shack - it had no electricity, no modern plumbing, the roof leaked, and mice had invaded the walls. It was perfect.

Sitting on Tisbury Great Pond - well-stocked with oysters and crab for foraged dinners - the house faced the ocean and the sky, and though it was eventually replaced by a sturdier structure, the ethos remained the same: no heat, no TV, and no telephone. Instead, there were countless hours at the beach, meals cooked and savored with friends, nights talking under the stars, until at last, the house was sold in 2014.

To the New Owners is Madeleine Blais's charming, evocative memoir of this house, and of the Vineyard itself - from the history of the island and its famous visitors to the ferry, the pie shops, the quirky charms and customs, and the abundant natural beauty. But more than that, this is an elegy for a special place.

Poignant and bittersweet

I have always resonated with a sense of place, I'm originally from the Boston area and I strongly believe that a house has a soul. So I wasn't surprised that I enjoyed this memoir as much as I did.

I was captivated right from the beginning. It was a wonderful walk down memory lane because the author shared many important people and events that I recalled. The writing had a breezy, conversational tone which made me feel I was sitting with the author over a glass of wine or cup of coffee with the Vineyard as the backdrop.

I understood the sense of loss that comes with giving up a home of many years. I experienced this loss when left to clean out my aunt's large home of over sixty years. All the distractions when finding photos, letters, etc. and the decision of what to keep and what to throw away. But it is these memories that sustain us and make the loss a bit easier.

I loved this memoir and it will remain one of my very favorite books for so many reasons. A huge thank you to the author for sharing a very special slice of history and memories.

Madeleine Blais wrote a sweet andÂloving portrayal of life on Marthaâs Vineyard in her memoir TO THE NEW OWNERS. She lucked out in the in-law department. Her mother-in-law Lydia King Phelps Stokes Katzenbach, an analyst and woman before her time, and father-in-law Nick Katzenbach, who served as U.S. Attorney General under President Kennedy, were both intelligent, warm, and family first people, who welcomed everyone to the home they bought on the pond years ago, as a summer retreat. Not simply a place to getaway, but a place to create memories and that they did.

In this memoir, Blais describes the lay of the land. How true MV lovers appreciate and respect their neighbors and the unwritten rules, and what happens when they donât. I especially loved the anecdotes that she shared about frequent guests and good friend such as Phil Caputo. Caputoâs wife Linda Ware, who was editor at Consumer Reports left the best log book notes Consumer Reports style. I also adored the logs that they kept in the house, which everyone wrote in as they left.

Title: Les Berberes et Moi: Part 3 [The Berbers and Me: Part 3]

Author: Magdalena Wasiura

Narrator: Deanna Delaney

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-03-17

Publisher: Cv Publications

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues

Publisher's Summary:

Part three of Magdalena's journal describes broadly "the forbidden" subjects: intimacy and drinking in the context of Islam that is supported by numerous tales from the Quran, and how young people will turn the prohibited into pleasure. She depicts the growing tension between her and her Muslim family and the cultural clash, something that one will not get in package holidays. "Lasciate ogne speranca, voi ch'intrate": it's Dante's invitation to Hell; here however, it invites one to hammam.

Title: Interstate

Subtitle: Hitchhiking Through the State of a Nation

Author: Julian Sayarer

Narrator: Joe Jameson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-26-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues

Publisher's Summary:

Recruited to work on a documentary project, Julian goes to New York convinced he has hit big time at last. Finding the project cancelled, he wanders the city streets and, with nowhere else to go, decides to set out hitchhiking for San Francisco.

Revisiting this timeless American journey finds an unseen nation in rough shape. Along the road are homeless people and anarchists who have dropped out of society altogether, and blue-collar Americans who seem to have lost all meaning in forgotten towns and food deserts.

Helped along by roadside communities and encounters that somehow keep a sense of optimism alive, Interstate grapples with the fault lines in US society. It tells a tale of Steinbeck and Kerouac, set against the indifference of the vast US landscape and the frustrated energy of American culture and politics at the start of a new century.

Travelogue/memoir set across AMERICA

Frustrated at the last minute cancellation of a film project on the East Coast, young British filmmaker Julian Sayarer decided to fill the time he now has on his hands by hitchhiking from New York to San Francisco. An epic journey. But Julian has form in epic journeys â his first book Life Cycles chronicles his 2009 world-record-breaking circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle. He rode 18,049 miles in 169 days. An impressive (and committed) young man â ready for another adventure.

And adventure (and commitment) he gets. Three weeks of hitching right across the United States. From New York, though New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California â with many a catastrophe along the way. The book is a brilliant read with the US Presidential Election now only weeks away. All is explained to those who cannot comprehend the Donald Trump phenomenon. Many of the people that Julian meets en route are ex-blue collar American workers whose jobs have been exported to China or Mexico, and whose wages â in their new jobs for those lucky enough to find one â have been depressed. A bus driver who used to be a highly paid steel worker. There is real disillusionment with Washington politics, and the changing face of America. These people do not feel listened to. Neither do they feel comfortable with someone asking for rides â the generosity of the past has moved on to be replaced by fear of a stranger. Julianâs best ride comes from an independent Indian truck driver who has no choice but to bend the law to meet the delivery deadlines set by his agent. The alternative (day after day) is not being able to make the next instalment on the loan he has taken out to buy the truck. These people feel the country has passed them by. A bit like the Brexit vote in the UK. The downtrodden underclass are ignored at its peril by the establishment. In the UK they did â and in the States they just might â bite back.

Julian also questions American values. A sign on the Interstate in Missouri âHit a worker â $10,000 dollar fine and lose your licenceâ â no concern for the fate of the workerâ Or the fact that grain fed to American cattle for the huge meat market could, of itself, pretty much abolish world hunger if distributed to the worldâs poor.

a guide book that i need

We wan't to travel and Australia will be our next destination for our vacation. My friends told me that Australia is one of the nicest place they have been. t wan't to know places first before going to that country. This book is a good source to know about Australia, the different place, hotel and cities you need to visit, and they have a ride the puffing billy ride that i will sure try. A good guide book.

Australia! I'm dreaming to visit this beautiful country! It's a good thing that I got this travel guide book before I go there so I can have a lot of information first on where to go. It will help me save time and be able to explore the best places! This travel guide book had been completely helpful and relevant!

Waste of time and the trees it took to make the paper it was printed on

This publication has 43 larger print pages. Although written in the first person, no author is noted. No publication information is included. No publisher, No copyright. Very odd. The quality and quantity of information included is dismal.There are no pictures or maps. There are no details, addresses, etc. Proof reading step must have been missed also.

Total Waste of Money!

Wished I had listened to the other reviews. No valuable information in this book; just a few sightseeing place suggestions and even those were minimal. What a waste of my money! Amazon should be ashamed to offer this "book."

Find something else!

One of the most poorly written books I've purchased. Am doubtful it was even edited. Not worth purchasing.

Title: For Tibet, with Love

Subtitle: A Beginner's Guide to Changing the World

Author: Isabel Losada

Narrator: Isabel Losada

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-17

Publisher: Isabel Losada

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Essays & Travelogues

Publisher's Summary:

"Sometimes you just have to do something, don't you? Sometimes an injustice comes along and you think, 'No, this cannot be', and rather than just turn off the TV, you know it's time to act."

So begins Isabel Losada's extraordinary For Tibet with Love, in which she explores whether it's possible for an ordinary person to change the world, just a little, and if something so serious can be achieved with joy in one's heart. From visits to Nepal and Tibet, to meetings with the Chinese ambassador and Tibetan awareness-raising groups, Isabel single-handedly hatches a stunning PR coup involving Nelson's Column, a 15-meter banner and a base-jumping parachutist that captured headlines worldwide. And then she meets the Dalai Lama....

Warm and funny, moving and thought-provoking, the astonishing For Tibet with Love celebrates the fact that we can make a difference.

Inspiring

A perfect book as far as I concerned: funny, insightful, and knowledgeable. Bridget Jones style in the self-help section.
