Rolf followed it up with a widely-acclaimed compilation of narrative travel stories, Marco Polo Didn’t Go There, a book which features an unique and insightful mode of self-critique at the end of each piece. He wrote the instant classic, Vagabonding, which soon became the book which inspired and still inspires so many travelers to take the plunge overseas. Rolf stands out from his contemporaries with his acute sense of humor, insight into the nature of travel (and travelers), and compassion for those he meets along the road. Yet he also follows in the literary tradition of vagabonders discussed in a previous interview in Transitions Abroad on the subject of long-term travel. Rolf Potts is one of the best-known and most-respected travel writers of this generation.
