This book, originally published in 2003, contains those tips and tales.Vago Damitio has now, in 2013, been to more than forty countries, written ten books, and is still living on his own terms. Since publishing this book he’s earned a degree, gotten married, and become a dad.Life is beautiful.This is the 10th Anniversary Edition of Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond. It contains more stories, more tips, updated author notes, and some resources that didn’t exist when the book was first published.
