Ever dreamt of traveling the world but didn't now where to start? Thinking of traveling alone but are concerned about safety? Are you sick and tired of looking like a tourist and just about DONE with being herded like cattle in large tour groups? If you are itching to put your traveling shoes on but are confused about travel insurance, how to get great accommodation without paying the earth, or even how to get the best travel deals, then this book is for you. You'll not only learn cruise and safari etiquette, but everything from travel inoculation, how to remain calm when travel disasters strike, and how to survive a holiday romance. Here's what others have had to say about Travel Bible For Women: "Victoria's knowledge of anything to do with travel is exemplary. And her new book, Travel Bible For Women, is the icing on the cake. A woman traveling alone to different countries on business (and for pleasure) is par for the course these days. But awareness and familiarity with different cultures and customs; what to do and more importantly, what not to do, is not common knowledge and ignorance can lead to embarrassing and sticky situations, to say the least. For this reason I found Victoria's Travel Bible For Women absolutely invaluable. Not only is it overflowing with practical information and straight forward do's and don'ts, it's also a fascinating read! I certainly won't be making any embarrassing blunders or cultural faux pas through my lack of knowledge or cultural ignorance in the future - I have Victoria's Travel Bible For Women to guide me on my next trip. What will you be taking?" -- Lindsay Lewis, Author of The Inconvenient Child. Sydney, Australia.

Does this book really have over 127 tips and tools for planning an international trip? Well, let's just say we stopped counting at that number. You see, this little handbook is packed with over 127 insights, websites, and resources that are essential for any traveler planning to go abroad. Are the tips and tools really secret? Actually yes, they are secret-at least no one told us about them before we journeyed abroad and we had done a lot of research and preparation. We had to discover many of them the hard way as we traveled around the world to more than 70 countries. These are the secrets we wished we had found, in a concise and consolidated book like this one, before we went abroad. Why did we write this book? We love to travel, and the more we traveled the world, the more we learned how to travel smarter, safer, and cheaper. When friends realized how much traveling we had done, the more questions they would ask us about how to travel. We soon realized we could answer just about every question that came our way. That is when we decided to share our travel knowledge as a way to help, enable, and inspire others to travel abroad. From that desire sprang over twenty classes that we teach in person and online, as well as this handbook, the first book in our Travel Smart Strategies series. Now you can travel smarter, safer, and cheaper too. Happy Travels!
