I've been re-reading Nick Thorpe's books on travelling. Eight men in a boat is well worth a read, telling the improbable tale of eight men sailing a reed boat off to Easter Island. Adrift is a fantastic tale of leaving the house one day and thumbing a life (on boats) around the cost of Scotland.
Both books focus on the human relationships that abound when journeying, and both show a deeper side to life. If you haven;t read them then get them out of your local library or buy them from GreenMetropolis.com
