Travel Alone and Love It: A Flight Attendant's Guide to Solo Travel

I'm a middle aged woman & when I purchased "Travel Alone & Love It" I'd been searching for a women's travel group to join. While reading this book I realized "I can do this". Sharon make's solo travel sound exciting and her tips make sense. I made 2 pages of notes and booked my first solo trip...to London. Thank you Sharon for providing the encouragement I needed to strike out on my own. An excellent read for anyone who's toying with the idea of travel.

"Travel Alone & Love It" is a welcome addition to my travel bookshelf. I refer to it before every trip. From the "idea" of a trip to the arrival at destination, every question is answered. Chapters on Travel Insurance and Jet Lag are especially helpful. As a Solo Senior Traveler I found this book to smooth the path and I am eagerly awaiting the next book by Sharon Wingler.

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.

I have written to, for and about mature adults for thirty years, and have witnessed what happens when someone becomes widowed, divorced or otherwise remains single. In a world designed for couples, 87 million mature adults in North America need to know that it is not only okay, but great, to be single. In this remarkable book, author Sharon Wingler opens the door for singles to the world for discovery of not only other cultures but, perhaps, that exploring on one's own means not having to sit around for a companion's pet museum or activity. I found practical and useful how-to's, why-to's and when-to's which make solo travel not only something to do but, better yet, something to anticipate and enjoy to the fullest.Wingler's "Travel Alone and Love It" is a nifty, helpful and, perhaps, life and lifestyle saving guide for singles of all ages. I bought it; I read it several times; and I use it as an active reference for my own travel.

"Travel Alone and Love It" is the perfect companion for both novice and experienced travelers. As a solo traveler for both business and pleasure, I have adopted many suggestions Wingler offers. Wingler's advise is practical common sense stuff that enables the reader to organize and prepare for the travel experience leaving nothing to chance. Information on destination choices, jet lag relief, social customs and meeting people are all included. It's the perfect "reference" book to consult--and keep with you--before and during any trip!
