Tales of A Digital Nomad: A Narrative of Freeing Oneself Through Travel
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T8C7H7Q
FREE until August 4th
> Join Nadia as she frees herself from the mundane and embarks on a journey of digital nomadism, self-revelation, and discovery. Feel the ache of heartbreak with her as Nadia leaves a love behind, and experience the excitement and warmth build as she discovers new friendships on her travels across Asia.
>WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
>“With effortless narrative, this book describes the fear and apathy related to the mundane and the enormous benefits to reap from doing the unusual. That’s what it’s about in the end – the way Nadia breaks away from the common experiences we all have and does the extraordinary. This describes the reality of it, fear and all, and still makes you want to follow in Nadia’s footsteps.”
For free overview the wiki and wikivoyage articles should be good enough to print and bring along:
For books try these since they have kindle versions (note: I haven't read them):
For Indonesian travel on a wider perspective I can recommend this:
Also while in Jogja have a visit to the Ullen Sentalu museum too.
I got lots of inspiration from /r/travel and /r/backpacking, and also did research with Wikivoyage and general googling of stuff to see and do in (x) country. Before I left I bought the Lonely Planet Southeast Asia on a Shoestring and had that for some reference while I traveled. It wasn't useful enough to justify the weight and space it occupied, but it did come in handy a couple times.
Along the way I also found issues of Southeast Asia Backpacker Magazine in travel agencies, and they had some good features on places to check out (as well as a very useful guide in the back to each country's exchange rate and time zone and greeting & etc.)
I didn't want to open a debate about where some publisher is located. I just wanted to find new publishers so I have a wider selection.
I'm actually interested in buying two guides for an upcoming trip: Laos & Indonesia. I was expecting to find different publishers, so I could take a look at the most updated guide.
Here's the result of my little investigation (I don't think it's going to be too useful to anyone else, but anyway).
To be honest, it seems like there are only two good sources for both countries:
