Customer Reviews

This book has been a God-send!

This funny and practical book got me out and travelling again after the death of my husband. I was nervous about trvalling alone and I got so much information as well as confidence from reading this book. The book contains so many good ideas for when you are alone or even for a girl get-away trip. I liked it so much I have bought another for a friend. Once in awhile a book comes along that really stands out. Kudos to the author!

Get Out Your Passport

This is a delightful, readable book that got me excited about travel. I've done some "partial" solo travel, so I could really relate to the author's stories. I especially loved her tales, some sad and some laugh-out-loud funny. She had many useful ideas for dining alone, packing your bags, dealing with strangers and loneliness, planning ahead and so much more. Her many experiences (some were amazing) just whetted my appetite to get on a plane. Can't wait to read Ms Lane's next book (while I'm enroute to some exotic destination!).

Finally...Practical Advice for the Solo Traveler

As someone who frequently travels solo --both personal and business trips-I found this book insightful and helpful. Solo travel can be fun and rewarding (not something to be advoided at all costs as so many otherwise adventurous gals and guys believe) but you need strategies to overcome the dreaded "table for one" and other fears that plague solo's on the road. Lea Lane tells you how do it with flair. It's a must for anyone who has been timid about taking off alone.

Practical travel advice and great stories all in one book!

This book is a great blend of practical advice for the solo traveler and inspiring travel stories from the author's myriad of fascinating trips. The book covers where to go, all the way through the trip. The tips and advice are even useful for accompanied travelers. "Solo Travel" makes you want to grab your passport and go. Don't read this if you can't take a vacation anytime soon.
