5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide for traveling solo - anywhere and any time, 9 Aug 1999

By A Customer

I have written to, for and about mature adults for thirty years, and have witnessed what happens when someone becomes widowed, divorced or otherwise remains single. In a world designed for couples, 87 million mature adults in North America need to know that it is not only okay, but great, to be single. In this remarkable book, author Sharon Wingler opens the door for singles to the world for discovery of not only other cultures but, perhaps, that exploring on one's own means not having to sit around for a companion's pet museum or activity. I found practical and useful how-to's, why-to's and when-to's which make solo travel not only something to do but, better yet, something to anticipate and enjoy to the fullest.

Wingler's "Travel Alone and Love It" is a nifty, helpful and, perhaps, life and lifestyle saving guide for singles of all ages. I bought it; I read it several times; and I use it as an active reference for my own travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make this book the first thing you pack when you travel!, 23 April 1999

By A Customer

"Travel Alone and Love It" is the perfect companion for both novice and experienced travelers. As a solo traveler for both business and pleasure, I have adopted many suggestions Wingler offers. Wingler's advise is practical common sense stuff that enables the reader to organize and prepare for the travel experience leaving nothing to chance. Information on destination choices, jet lag relief, social customs and meeting people are all included. It's the perfect "reference" book to consult--and keep with you--before and during any trip!
