Today,
like never before, more women are travelling to destinations around the globe
and are recording their fabulous experiences. In “More Women Travel,” the reader
gets a taste of the scope of these adventures. Included in this anthology are
over 60 female-centered narratives including: cycling the French Riviera, exploring
in India, hitchhiking through the Yukon, going on walkabout in Australia, riding
the Trans-Siberian Railroad, hacking through the Malaysian Jungle and more. Each
travelogue ends with Travel Notes: containing suggested reading, transportation
and lodging advice, as well as special contacts and considerations to help with
your own trip planning. This book is an opportunity to sample a wide variety of
female travel authors, be uplifted by their stories and find inspiration to set
out and do it yourself.

Travelling
solo is an acquired art -- one which flight attendant Sharon Wingler has learned
extremely well. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting this travellin’woman and I can
attest to the fact that both her travel advice and her writing style are a direct
reflection of her warmth and savvy manner. Jam-packed with excellent go-alone
travel tips, her “how-to” travel book informs, instructs and, best of all, it
inspires the single traveller to get out there and enjoy the countless pleasures
of the solo experience! Makes a wonderful bon voyage gift for any woman who's
decided to hit the road on her own. | Especially for the kiddies... A World of Faith

Travelling
opens up new and wonderful worlds to young people. Sightseeing invariably sparks
questions about the forms of worship practiced round the globe. To answer these
questions, “A World of Faith,” was created by two women - one the writer and the
other the illustrator. From Mormons and Methodists to Jews and Muslims, twenty-eight
religious denominations are explored -- each in a simple page of text accompanied
by another of artwork which beautifully represents that particular faith.This
book is a treat to have in your library and perfect for pre-trip prepping. (Signature
Books - ISBN 1-56085-116-3) | Hurrah for fiction... Why not save the serious non-fiction stuff for at-home reading? Then, be flamboyant with your vacation reading material. These following five suggestions will work equally as well on a sunny stretch of sand or at a sidewalk cafe in Italy.
