INTRODUCTION //

Vinjatek is “the vagabonding operative lifestyle” site. I say “the”, not “a” as this is the only site of this kind.

There are countless nomadic / travel lifestyle blogs on the web and a few survival / tradecraft ones to, but not one that’s a fusion of the two, except yours truly’s.

I’ve written about vagabonding plenty of times and most articles relate to it in some way. However, a specific guide was never published. My initial plan was to include a full out vagabonding guide in my upcoming book.

That’s still the plan but during the process, I got the idea to start a series similar to my Life Tactics posts – short but concise pieces on specific ways to improve oneself.

The How to Live Out of a Backpack Series will continue as that regards to the literal and specific concept of using a backpack to live as a perpetual nomad.

“Vagabonding is a lifestyle method of continuously (world) travel with no time limit carrying minimal gear in search of adventure, exploration and new experiences.”

This new Vagabonding Guide Series will will focus on the actual act of living as a modern vagabond.
