In this unique ebook version of the Unruly Travel guide, The Art of Unruly Travel on a Budget, traveler, activist, and author Calen Otto will teach you how to travel the world regardless of income. This isn’t another guide that robotically recommends just staying in hostels over hotels. Instead, this guide teaches you to navigate and find the essentials of life and travel with little money: tools, transportation, shelter, joy, and food.
After crossing the USA for the first time with just a bike and a $300 gift card, Calen learned the art of budget travel with almost no money in hand. Calen then continued on, seeing most of the USA in a similar fashion, and ultimately writing this guide so that others can do the same.
If you’re ready to travel but are limited to a small budget, this book is for you. Whether you're new to travel or an seasoned backpacker, you’ll receive solid travel advice that will expand your horizons (literally), learn how to think differently about travel possibilities, and hear the real, raw, and thrilling stories from someone whose blood, sweat, and tears went into this book.
Happy travels!

Here’s what people are saying about it:
“Of all the travel guides I’ve looked at this is the only one I have ever read from cover to cover and was sad to see it end. This guide is full of fascinating true stories, tips I hadn’t thought of before, and gorgeous photos, as well as many helpful hints and resources. I am inspired to travel, meet new friends, and see the beautiful U.S. on a budget after reading. This book is brilliantly written from the heart.”

“The Art of Unruly Travel is a must have book for any budget traveler! I read this book cover to cover when it first came out as an e-book. I now keep the paper back in my RV as a handy reference. Many great stories and helpful ideas on some fetching you dollars while traveling. I did an RV trip across country in early 2021 and wish I’d had this book back then. Calen has lots of experience and ideas on budget travel coming from personal experience that I’m sure you will value.”
