N2  - Beat Zen and the art of Dave is the latest travel memoir by Australian author, David McNamara. His new book expands on the world of independent global travel, to capture how the wonderment of an outbound adventure conspires towards an equally profound inner journey. It is a personal account that only comes from living the life of a vagabond and free spirit. By sharing the candid story of how the author's 1998 gap year turned into a way of life, "Beat Zen and the Art of Dave" becomes a wending exploration into the modern wayfaring lifestyle. It intertwines humorous anecdotes and travel lore with backpacking philosophy and Eastern spirituality to show that everyone's journey is a travelogue of sorts. So join the rucksack revolution because we're all part of a travel fraternity overlanding it through life
