Download or read book Ten Years a Nomad written by Matthew Kepnes and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir and part philosophical look at why we travel, filled with stories of Matt Kepnes' adventures abroad, an exploration of wanderlust and what it truly means to be a nomad. New York Times bestselling author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, Matthew Kepnes knows what it feels like to get the travel bug. After meeting some travelers on a trip to Thailand in 2005, he realized that living life meant more than simply meeting society's traditional milestones. Over 500,000 miles, 1,000 hostels, and 90 different countries later, Matt has compiled his favorite stories, experiences, and insights into this travel manifesto. Filled with the color and perspective that only hindsight and self-reflection can offer, these stories get to the real questions at the heart of wanderlust. Travel questions that transcend the basic "how-to," and plumb the depths of what drives us to travel — and what extended travel around the world can teach us about life, ourselves, and our place in the world. Ten Years a Nomad is a heartfelt comprehension of the insatiable craving for travel, unraveling the authenticity of being a vagabond, not for months but for a fulfilling decade.

Download or read book Open to All written by Duncan Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2016-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth hostels changed the world. Beginning in 1929 with no money, no leader and only a simple idea, today they boast bars, restaurants, and en suites. You can find them in cities, in towns, in the wilderness, in castles, mansions, mills, and converted hotels.Open to All is a completely new history of youth hostels in England and Wales. It tells the story of youth hostels, how they grew as part of the outdoors in the 20th century, from the 'back to the land' movement, through national parks, to consumerism. They began as a voluntary movement and developed into a modern, centralised organisation, managed by paid staff. Today they are part the contemporary world of the internet, of Trip Advisor and Airbnb. Throughout the narrative, there are observations from the writer's own experience working in youth hostels in the Lake District, running a small hostel in the woods in Devon, raising a family in a youth hostel and as YHA's head of communications during the foot and mouth outbreak at the start of a new century.Youth hostels were part of a world wide romantic story, one of the great social movements of the 20th century, like the mods and rockers, teddy boys, hippies and punks. Slightly anarchic, ascetic and abstemious, in favour of freedom, youth hostels began as a grass roots movement, anti-materialist, pacifist and populist, in love with the pastoral and rural retreats, escapist.They also began as one of the last of the big voluntary ventures, emerging from the 19th century's drive to improve people's lives. Descended from the Scouts, the Guides, the Boys Brigade and others, part of the force to preserve the countryside, linked to the National Trust, youth hostels were idealistic, charitable, conservative, worthy and paternal.By the 1960s youth hostels had become an institution, part of the social life of the country. They settled into a kind of complacency. They forgot their radical roots. They clung to rules and achieved a reputation for being old and out of date when the 1970s caught them.Open to All covers the next 30 years using new and original material as youth hostels struggled for survival as first one then another event fell upon them. Soaring inflation, rising prices, the demands of their own staff for better conditions, industrial action by teachers, accidents involving children on school trips, each forced change on youth hostels while successive generations demanded more comfort, more privacy and more freedom. Other organisations, institutions and political parties and all of us in our own lives faced that same struggle to modernise.Finally the foot and mouth outbreak and the internet disrupted youth hostels to an extent they could not avoid or escape. Youth hostels had no choice. They changed themselves to meet the changes they had created in the world. They changed themselves to meet the demand of a new generation for the kind of footloose independent travel youth hostels had done so much to create.Duncan M Simpson worked for many years in and for youth hostels, as a seasonal assistant and manager. For 12 years he was head of corporate affairs for YHA (England and Wales). Chapters of history are interspersed with stories from his working life of nearly 40 years, working in and for youth hostels.Based on wide ranging research and original material, Open to All is the fascinating story of youth hostels, of how they grew up and how, having changed the world, youth hostels raced to catch up with the young people they had set free.

Download or read book Residential Work with Offenders written by Emma Wincup and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: Throughout the book reflexive accounts of practice gathered from qualitative research in four different types of bail and probation hostels (women-only, women-only with provision for children, mixed and men-only) are used to argue that the combination of working with a difficult client group in a difficult setting creates a unique blend of professional and personal anxieties. These reflexive accounts are located within their broader social and criminal justice context, and analyzed in relation to contemporary criminological and sociological debates. The result is a detailed insight into the everyday world of bail and probation hostels covering issues such as managing risk and violence, coping with stress and evaluating practice.
