Customer Reviews

Enjoyable

This book has been very informative and full of knowledgeable information. Whether you plan to travel or are traveling by "window shopping", this book will help you plan a trip full of fun, safety, and bargains.

Jump In Your Car and Go!

Grab your best girlfriends for a fun getaway. This book has lots of suggestions for a great time. Restaurants, hotels, places to see and things to do. A good "how to" guide.

A Great read

What a great book on travel! I ordered copies for my friends..

Wonderful Wanderlust

I must admit to initially being skeptical about this book, as I usually find 'Top 10'-style lists to be superficial. But this book highlights fascinating places I didn't even know existed, or that I never imagined visiting. All of them have a women's slant -- be it a place where a heroine "made history"(like the plaza in Buenos Aires where the 'Mothers of the Disappeared' march every Thursday to protest the disappearance of their children during the war) or a place inhabited by a goddess or deity (like a Hawaiian volcano worshiped by locals because the goddess Pele lurks within) or a woman-owned business (like the first women-owned sex shop: Good Vibrations in San Francisco). The author makes an effort to point out socially responsible destinations, such as "fair trade" sites, eco-lodges, and women's cooperatives, as well as places to do volunteer work. The writing-style is very upbeat: funny in some places, poignant in others, and inspirational throughout!

Get inspired!

Reading this book makes you want to grab a pen and paper and start your own list of "must visit" places. And many of the places Griest has described should be on your list! From the best ice cream in the world, to the proper way to bathe in a Japanese bath house, to floating the Ganges at sunrise, to two-stepping in Texas, she has compiled an extensive collection of special places for women to be nourished, inspired, and entertained. This is not your typical travel guide; instead, she offers a unique perspective on adventures that will take you deep into the true spirit of a place or people. Her personal observations will make you laugh, and the additional resources will help you plan your own trip to these amazing places - or inspire you to find your own. Don your traveling shoes, tuck this book into your backpack, and get out there and experience life!
