So, you are sitting at your desk, daydreaming, "Where will
I go on my vacation?" Jay Toberman has answered this question
with some of the most educational, enlightening, and inventive adventures
you can imagine.
While many 'adventurers' devote all their time and money to touring
the world, sometimes selling everything they own and setting out
for parts unknown, Jay gives his readers another, more down-to-earth,
option.
Through careful planning and the luck of finding a good travel-mate,
the regular working person can make their 3-day weekends or 2-week
vacations into memories they can treasure for the rest of their
lives.
Some of Jay's stories are humourous. A couple of times I felt anxious
about the stories' outcome. But, more than anything, I was struck
by Jay's love of nature, this land and the world as a whole. When
Jay tells how he hitchhiked across Canada I could feel his sadness;
he could not recommend this kind of travel anymore for personal
safety reasons. Jay is perceptive and engaging when dealing with
fellow travelers he meets along the way.
Don't Quit Your Day Job is chock-full of information, ideas, and
invaluable first-hand information for the would-be adventurer in
all of us.
