Did the book offer good tips for traveling for less?  Yes, but they are very simplistic and quite honesty, common sense. For someone who has never traveled at all, it would be worth reading this as a beginning guide.  If someone has traveled already, then they already know what this pamphlet offers (as it is only 22 pages).The book would greatly benefit from examples or more detail. For example, the author mentions perhaps utilizing the train while traveling, but offers very little advice or guidance. Riding a train in Switzerland (or Europe) is quite different from riding a train in India. Also, there can be lots of enjoyment of the local culture in taking the train, but there is so much guidance which could have been included; i.e., buying tickets, reading train schedules, etc.  Also, the author advises “safe-keeping” of one’s things, but never offers any ideas for how to do so - pretty much, just be careful.Links would also be helpful. During the planning chapter, a few links (or at least their names) of sites offering the described promo deals or someway to track down these “sales” would be useful.The book needs an editor. Either the author did not do well in English classes in school, or English is not their first language.
