It does not go into details on the specifics - and is more focused on what to keep an eye out for when shopping. If you already have a solid foundation on your needs and the basics of the options and are ready to dive into the specifics, then you might prefer to skip ahead to our more in-depth guides online.)We have no affiliation or financial ties with any of the products we mention throughout the book or website... we strive to provide unbiased information for nomads, by nomads.
