Hi, thanks for visiting this Backpacker to Nomad info page, I’m delighted you’re here. 

On this page you can find everything you need to know about my popular first travel memoir, why I wrote it, what to expect in the book and there’s also a little FREEBIE for you too.

A note from the Author Amit Vaidya (aka Forever Roaming the World)

This crazy nomadic journey of mine started in 2010, back then I would never had dreamt it would go on for so many years. To be honest, I didn’t even think it would last a few months, but somehow it just kept going, month after month year after year, country after country. It was by no means ever smooth, in fact it was a crap show at times. And that’s what this memoir is all about. 

Nobody starts off as an expert or experienced, and in this memoir I wanted to show the highs and lows, the emotional rollacoaster, and learning curves from poignant moments and events during those initial five and half years where I turned from naive backpacker finding my way and myself to an experienced nomad drifting with the wind.

An easy read, and one you'll likely continue until complete. You'll get lost in Amit's adventures and laugh along the way (mostly AT him!)
Amazon AUS review
Really fun read, makes a person want to go travel. I thought the way the book weaved between adventure and mental self discovery was very smart. I believe the author has a second book and if so I will be reading !
Amazon USA Review
I really loved Amit's account of his travels! I found myself nodding and laughing at some of his experiences as they paralleled my own and I related to them. I'd recommend this for any world travelers, or anyone who wants to be.
Amazon USA Review
Forget all you've heard about the typical gap-year backpacking experience.This is one crazy ride! There was usually a travelling companion to patch up his wounds, soothe his anxieties and share his many crazy experiences. But there is no end to this story for, as the title suggests, Amit is still travelling, seeking adventures and - writing a sequel!
AMAZON UK REVIEW
A Highly engaging and entertaining read that had me laughing at the scrapes Amit get himself into even when he’s not trying. This is a remarkable story of how Amit become a nomad and the adventures he goes goes on along the way. I recommend this memoir to anybody who like myself loves to read about exotic lands, paradise beaches and rugged jungles from the safety of home.
AMAZON UK REVIEW
These travel stories kept me entertained all the way through. The authors journey is bumpy, but with the help of his various travel companions and determinations this ride just keeps going. I highly recommend this book to those like me who dream of a life of travel and exploring
AMAZON UK REVIEW
An interesting and fast read. The writing is excellent and the author's descriptions are vivid. The book chronicles the metamorphosis of the author from an inexperienced backpacker to an experienced long-term traveller.
Goodreads review
By good fortune and coincidence, I have visited many of the places that Amit has included in this travel memoir. However, that is where the similarities end. Our methods of travel, and our travel experiences, could not have been more different. That's one of the things that I loved most about Backpacker to Nomad. It wandered into different (and sometimes darker) corners than I would have visited on my own. The author's vivid and candid writing captivated me throughout.
GOODREADS REVIEW
If you are young and contemplating a gap year abroad this book may be a good one to read. If you have a child about to take a gap year, maybe it is not such a good choice! Amit was not on a gap year but on a mission to escape the UK and prove to his family and friends (and mostly to himself) that he was braver than they thought. He has constant battles with an inner vooice and gradually emerges from a shell. Travel becomes a need and his backpack no longer represents a temporary visit to a country but becomes a permanent fixture as he moves from one place to another discovering the world and slowly maturing
