I've compiled a list of books and 'zines I've read, and a handful of movies I've watched about Traveling. Of course a lot of it is outdated if you're looking for advice, but the spirit of the work holds true in my experience or understanding of the places I haven't been. I also name one 'zinester who's zine I read I can't remember the name of. And that section's a bit tricky because they aren't exclusively Travel 'zines so some whole issues won't be about Traveling. But you might be able to find most of the books at a library near you and I watched at least a couple of the films on the youtube. Please reply with your own lists!
