I really loved today's Writer's Block question and felt there were three that made a difference in my perspective. In truth I could actually like two more but I'll stick just to these additional two.

A Pirate Looks At Fifty - Jimmy Buffet
Jimmy Buffett is not just a musician, he is a world adventurer with tales that will inspire you to pick up a guitar and learn to play and sing... or learn whatever virtual skills you need to so you can Island Hop. This is a must read for anyone who wants to travel the world without the tourist stops.

Tales of A Female Nomad - Rita Golden Gelman
This is a very empowering book for any women who is independent, free spirited and may feel it is too big of a dream to travel solo. It is because of Rita Golden Gelman that I took my cross country road trip and never regretted it. I have always loved to travel and try something new and different. However I feared I wasn't normal and often tried to hide it. After ready Tales, I knew that I would rather travel and travel nomad style (instead of pricey hotels) then sits in a cubical. Tales of A Female Nomad changed my perspective.
