Hitting the Road

If you've ever browsed the travel section of your local bookstore, you know there are dozens of travel books on the market. Some focus on spa destinations. Some provide a guide to the best retail outlets. And some let you know where your four-legged companion is welcome.

Happily I found a wonderful travel book written specifically for women: Gutsy Women, More travel tips for the road by Marybeth Bond. Author of five travel books for women, Bond offers more than basic tips like "keep the bulk of your money in a money belt under your clothes". She shares a multitude of secrets gleaned from many years on the road.

Gutsy Women covers every phase of your journey from the initial planning to readjusting when you return home. Invaluable for the chapter on Safety and Security alone, the book includes:

The safest hotel rooms for women
When and how much to tip
Keeping safe in an unfamiliar environment
What to pack to help you stay healthy
How to bargain with street vendors
Getting the best hotel rate
Space conscious packing

In addition to basic tips, there are chapters devoted to specific groups including: business travelers, mothers and daughters, older adventurers, solo travelers and people with kids.

Gutsy Women is an insightful, interesting read. Unlike some authors, Bond is not afraid to cover touchy topics like romance on the road (the importance of bringing contraception from home) and mother/daughter travel (the value of planning alone time). The book also is peppered with observations from female travelers of a variety of ages and walks of life.

Pick up a copy of Gutsy Women before you start planning your next trip. Frank and funny, Bond is sure to inform and entertain you. Sharing her experiences even may encourage you to travel more often.
