Traveling Solo : Advice and Ideas for More Than 250 Great Vacations
by Eleanor "Traveling on Your Own" Berman

Synopsis
Two may be company, but sometimes one is all you need for the road. Consider the benefits of solo travel: nobody to please but yourself, and no hassling over where to go, what to do, or how much to spend. In Traveling Solo, Eleanor Berman not only extols the virtues of a trip of one's own, but she also gives you plenty of advice on how to plan the perfect solo vacation. From group vacations for single travelers to safety tips for those who truly want to go it alone, Berman presents a wealth of information geared to singles of all ages and budgets. How about spending three weeks studying painting in Assisi or cooking in Venice? What about bicycling in Yellowstone or trekking in Nepal? As Berman makes clear, there's plenty to see and do for the solo traveler--and plenty of people to meet along the way.

Traveling Solo includes chapters for women traveling alone, single parents, and older travelers. Along with more than 250 great vacation ideas, Berman offers solid advice on how to be both safe and smart during your solo perambulations. This is the book to read if you're considering striking out on your own.
