“50 Years of Solo Travel-A Definitive Guide”, only available at Amazon.com

I began solo travel as a young student. After five decades, I have covered at years’ end 71 countries and all 50 US states. If experience is the best teacher, I have the equivalent of a PHD in travel mishaps.

I have:

• Arrived at my destination to find an unpublicized serious epidemic.
• Traveled to 5 countries in 18 hours after a flight cancellation abroad.
• Navigated low-grade civil wars and been assigned a security guard overnight.
• Became so sick I thought the overhead light was the sun rising over the Nile.
• Was robbed by an enterprising ban in broad daylight boarding a train.

The good news is that I have come through it all without a serious illness and with an encyclopedia full of “trips of a lifetime”

and tips to save you from hassles both while you plan your next solo travel and when you land abroad.

Take the journey with us through our “50 Years of Solo Travel” to explore the more than 200 countries the world has to offer.
