Summary: Independent Women Travelling the Globe
Comment: This book was full of beautifully painted experiences and quotes from travellers other than the author. The author also shared a large number of experiences and ideas. Some of the tips for travelling, preparing, etc. were redundant, and occasionally I felt like I was being told something I already knew, but you can just skip over those pages (some people need to hear those things for the first time). Overall, this book was highly motivational and encouraged me to 'Just Do' and not to wait until I have enough time or money, or whatever. It motivated me to seek out new adventures and helped me realize that there are other ways to see the world than going by yourself. You can take tours with companies that specialize for your interests. You can do homestays in countries and live with local families. You can travel alone, too, and there are plenty of safety tips on how to do it. Basically it reiterates the need to use common sense. It gives the ordinary woman courage to do something she may otherwise be fearing. I read this book in less than two days. There was a great resource index in the back. I recommend it to any woman trying to get up the nerve to travel solo, or try new adventures.

Summary: The best book on travel I've ever read
Comment: I bought this book a couple of years before I took my first major solo trip, to England for 3 1/2 weeks in 1997. This book not only helped me to realize that I was wasting my life wishing I could go travel instead of traveling but that I could certainly do it alone. Thalia Zapatos gives good, practical advice about traveling alone (or with a companion-including a great quiz for helping figure out yours and your companion's traveling styles) with sensible attention to safety issues without being alarmist.
What puts this book above and beyond your basic to do list type books is the inclusion of great anecdotes and short essays by women(including the author) recalling trips they've taken. These demonstrate the usefulness of the author's advice and humanize it as well.
