About the Book
After discussing the advantages and disadvantages of traveling alone, the author describes her experiences as a “solo” traveler. Whether for traveling within the United States or taking an extended trip abroad, the planning required is discussed in detail. Helpful suggestions make the reader a wiser traveler and raises his level of sophistication above that of the conventional tourist. The author’s goal is to help the reader to see the difference between a sightseer who waits to have things happen to him and the traveler who seeks adventure.
From her first venture, a summer in Europe with the American Youth Hostels, to cruising in style on the Queen Elizabeth 2, the author presents a variety of educational, exciting, and memorable experiences. She has traveled all of the United States, much of Mexico and Central America, a significant portion of Canada, around the world, over the Pole, and down under to Australia. She feels that her willingness to travel “solo” has been an important factor in accomplishing these goals.
