5th edition of "The Practical Nomad: How To Travel Around The World" available for pre-ordering

Look for the new edition (larger image of cover) in bookstores worldwide in October 2011.

(If you can't wait, the 4th edition (2007) is still available in hardcopy or as a Kindle Edition e-book. But really the new edition will be worth the wait.)
