Travel Alone and Love It: A Flight Attendant's Guide to Solo Travel
Having traveled extensively for 26 years as a flight attendant, Wingler brings her experiences and insights to this unusual travel guide. Though much of it deals informatively with topics found in most travel guides (tips on travel planning, flight protocol, jet lag, etc.), the sections that set it apart from the mainstream guides are those that address the concept of traveling alone. Wingler convincingly argues that solo travel provides increased opportunities to meet and interact with people of another culture one-on-one, thus providing a much more memorable travel experience. In addition to attempting to inspire people to travel alone, she also offers ways of overcoming the fear of doing so. Appendixes list foreign tourist offices and publications about solo travel.
