By the time travel writer Jeff Greenwald reached his late 30s, he had covered more ground than Magellan, Marco Polo and Columbus combined. But he’d also come to a sobering conclusion: Airplanes had reduced his exotic explorations to a series of long commutes. So he set out to rediscover the size of the world. His mission: to circle the Earth without leaving its surface. And while doing so—at the dawn of the Internet Age—Greenwald succeeded in creating the very first travel “blogs” on the World Wide Web.

This 30th Anniversary edition of Greenwald’s best-selling odyssey features a new Introduction, a Foreword by Don George, and some surprises. Join Greenwald as he scales an active volcano in Guatemala, rides a rat-infested ferry across the Persian Gulf, visits Paul Bowles in Tangier, saves a baby snow leopard in Tibet and spends his 40th birthday marooned in the Sahara. A pilgrimage both hilarious and harrowing, insightful and wise, The Size of the World takes you on an adventure you will never forget.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A time capsule and testament to the transformative power of travel ❤️
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    Jeff's incredibly heartfelt book on his symbolic and literal global "kora," in which he circled the globe by sea and land without taking planes, will have you embarking on your own wild inner journey. The 30th anniversary edition has even more punch, with an exceptional revised foreword and added reflections that wittily bring to light the decades-long evolution of the world of "today." The book is both a time capsule and a testament to global change—and, even more so, to what endures: following your intuition, living with an open heart and mind, and the tenacious willingness to embrace discomfort of all kinds in the holy pursuit of a grand adventure, the great unknown, and the ultimate gift of transformation. As a full-time traveler myself for the past ten years, reading Jeff's book was as grounding as it was wanderlust-inducing, and it helped me discover my own sense (and size) of the world in Jeff's irreplaceable footsteps.
