Summary: Travel Alone & Love It
Review: This should be your first and only stop when searching for solo traveling information. The price makes it a terrific value! If I had known of it's existence before I started my research, it would have saved me countless trips to the Public library! The information is easy to understand and very insightful reading on how to navigate the World without feeling like an amateur. It coaches you on how to invite people into conversation as a lone traveler and shows you how easily it is to withdraw from unwanted attention without giving offense. Sharon's tips really work. Her tips on what to pack were right on the money and saved me plenty of space in my suitcase for souvenirs. By using her tips I blended in so well that on numerous occasions the locals mistook me for a local as well. Imagine Their surprise when I answered their questions with my American accent! Read the book, make your notes and let it open the World to you. I have recommended this book to many people with an interest in traveling solo and I plan to give to both family and friends as gifts.

Summary: Excellent for the novice; too basic for exp. globetrotters
Review: Travelling alone is not easy. There's no second opinion to gauge - and no one else to blame for mistakes. This book is a terrific primer for anyone embarking on their first solo trip, with tons of useful information for the novice traveler. Experience travellers need it not, however. Wingler, a flight attendant for a quarter century, knows the ropes and shares her secrets for packing, dealing with jet lag, and staying healthy. Definitely a useful book if you've never traveled before - solo or not

Rating:
Summary: Thoroughly mediocre
Review: While this book contains a few useful tips, they are rare; anyone with common sense could figure out the rest. The author also assumes a certain level of affluence, so students and budget travelers should look elsewhere. Furthermore, the more practical -minded would probably find her packing advice and clothing tips ludicrous.
