In this era of overcrowded airplanes, huge cruise ships and post-Covid "revenge travel," is it still possible to take a holiday without making reservations and planning every minute of it? Michael Kluckner's entertaining stories from 50 years of travel demonstrate that you can still "wing it," even in the 2020s. Reflecting on travellers' tales from centuries ago, this book demonstrates both how much and how little has changed when you go on the road.
