Tom Valsberg is a traveling musician and wordsmith, brimming with unique ideas, who has spent the last decade journeying extensively around the world. Inspired by his travels, Tom has composed numerous songs for the band Indigolapsed and has published poems and travel stories in the newspaper *Eesti Ekspress*.
The first part of the book *Kuidas rännata ilma hirmuta* ("How to Travel Without Fear") focuses on traveling abroad and overcoming the fears associated with it. The second part explores journeys that can be experienced without physical travel—through meditation, visionary plants, and "power songs" or dances. The third part addresses life itself as a journey from birth to death, with Tom reflecting on themes such as the ego, the desire to possess more than what one already has, the nature of the Creator, human relationships, death, and gratitude. Packed with songs, poems, musings, and captivating travel tales, this work serves as a unique kind of travel manual, offering inspiration and support to anyone seeking to expand their horizons.
What makes this book truly special is the accompanying audio disc, which allows readers to listen to the songs woven throughout the text. In addition to tracks by Indigolapsed and Tane Mahuta, the disc features six brand-new songs from Tom’s latest ensemble, Manki Maindi. Keywords:
