When we decided to chunk out our old life and start traveling we got a lot of questions. Most of which challenged our mental sanity, as in them thinking we were insane was actually driving us insane! But after the initial shock wore off most people were interested in learning more about the actual process, HOW did we do it? It’s a tough question, people assume we’re somehow secretly rich…the fact that we had no fancy cell phone, no cable tv, didn’t have any fancy new toys should have been a sign… but the truth is much more mundane. We saved every penny we could for about a year and a half. It’s not easy for people who have gone traveling to clearly express and answer many of the questions posed by the curious.

This is where Stephanie’s new e-book “Art Of Solo Travel: A Girls’ Guide” really kicks in. It’s an easy to read, frank, and matter-of-fact style gives readers the confidence and answers needed to start planning their own big adventure. She writes from her experience, thus the focus is on female solo travel, but if you’re the other half planning on solo travel, or just inspiration to make the big jump into world travel Stephanie’s guide is a good place to start.

What makes this guide not only useful but fun to read is the varied amount of info that’s offered. Check out some of the topics she covers: (not actual title of the chapters but paraphrasing by me)

- What To Pack

- How To Actually Save That Dough For Traveling (VERY TRUE)

- How She Traveled The WORLD For Less Than AUD$15,000 (That’s about US$12,300!)

- How To Be A Better Flyer

- How To Use The Ever Growing Couchsurfing Network

- A Guide To Eating/Drinking Alone (This is very insightful for those planning to travel alone!)
