Praise for"Walden on Wheels"
""Walden on Wheels"[is] a remarkable memoir that manages to stay light on its feet while saying a great deal about the state of modern American society. Ilgunas is a rare and wonderful travel companion. Along the way, he describes natural phenomena so skillfully that you might be compelled to flee your desk and head for the hills, walking stick in hand.""--The Washington Post"
"Ilgunas penned the most readable of the tomes on education this year. Ilgunas lives [the educational crisis] and tells quite the adventure tale. His education--flawed and expensive as it was--pays off.""--The Globe and Mail"

""Walden on Wheels"should be required reading for every student, not to mention every elected official and candidate for office.""--BizPac Review"

"This enthralling account...is richly layered with both humor and deep circumspection. Thoughtful and well-crafted, [and] inspiring to read, "Walden on Wheels," reminds one that life is made up of the little things, the experiences gained, the adventures survived, rather than the consumables acquired.""--Summit Daily"

"Wrapped in a powerfully told, often self-deprecating travel memoir, "Walden on Wheels"delivers important, even life-changing, insights into navigating your way to a saner life in a sometimes insane, debt-driven, consumer culture." --Jeff Yeager, author of"The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches"
""Walden on Wheels"is a powerful narrative that puts a human face on the problem facing too many college graduates these days as tuition prices and student debt continue to climb.

Selingo, author of"College (Un)bound"
