SynopsisHow to Make Solo Travel Your Passion in the Author's Own Words:"I have never felt lonely and, despite some misadventures, have always managed to return home in one piece. Over these five decades, I have:*Strolled through low-grade civil wars where on one occasion my hotel assigned me a security guard overnight.*Dodged epidemics from off the coast of Mauretania to the Swine Flu outbreak in China.*Fought off muggers in broad daylight in Europe.*Walked away from two emergency landings on commercial jets.*Narrowly missed being a feast for crocodiles.Most travelers won't face any of the above challenges or any crises in the true sense of the word. The most likely problems will be missed/delayed flights, lost luggage and pickpockets or mishaps which can seem like crises to the traveler at the time. I've experienced all of these, too, and can help to resolve them.On my later travels, I heard the two most dreaded words for solos: "single supplement". Much of this guide is dedicated to avoiding "single supplements", or otherwise reducing the cost of travel, so you can explore all the world has to offer as a solo traveler!"An entertaining, personal account by Washington entrepreneur/Founder of SoloTrekker4U.com, Elizabeth Avery, and providing valuable personal advice gleaned from 50 years of solo travel begun as a young student. By year end 2018, she will have visited all 50 US States and 71 countries from major cities in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East to distant Pacific Islands of Rarotonga and Aitutaki.In its 24 chaoters, "50 Years of Solo Travel-A Definitive Guide" has 24 chapters filled with both traditional tips on travel formalities to "creative" approaches to avoiding falling head first on Lisbon's slick stone streets. Expected topics range from how to pick a tour or go independently to less expected emergency solutions from fires to boating accidents and wild animals up close and personal. The good news is that unlike, the author, most solo travelers will not confront the colorful challenges the author found waiting for her around the globe. Join us on this quick read and often amusing travel odyssey of everything you need to know about solo travel.
