Andrea Amadio ，

Guida utilissima sul viaggiare da soli con tanti spunti per sognare e concretizzare il viaggio che si vuole intraprendere da tempo nel pieno della propria solitudine。

Kayla Bailey ，

Such a great little book！ It has a section for whatever you’re looking for。 Budget tips， how to write a travel blog， personal accounts， safety tips， so glad I picked this up before my 4 month solo trip to Ireland！

Sofia Proano ，

Great book， gave me a lot of tips on traveling solo， and inspiration on where to go。

Leslie Christina ，

Don't Buy in E-Book FormatUnfortunate format for this book。 Might be a great travel guide but the format is so small I could not read in e-book format。 Fortunately I downloaded through Kindle Unlimited。 It looked like it might have some great info but it was unreadable。 Don't Buy in E-Book FormatUnfortunate format for this book。 Might be a great travel guide but the format is so small I could not read in e-book format。 Fortunately I downloaded through Kindle Unlimited。 It looked like it might have some great info but it was unreadable。 。。。more

Evan Eskilson ，

Ironic that I finished it 2 days after my solo trip got canceled…Still not a particularly helpful book though

Piper Winchester ，

Useful book that has answered some of my questions and sorted my worries out。The stories at the end was a great little touch

Caitlin O'Connor ，

Finished this book in a little over an hour single sitting。 Was I avoiding housework？ Maybe。 Was the book still enjoyable？ Yes。I’ve solo travelled several times in my life （solo ski weekends， 10 days in Hawaii big island， 2 weeks in Bali） so many of the fears/apprehensions in this book I feel I’ve accomplished already。 （I also commonly eat out alone in SF/NYC。。。 bravery in small acts 😂）I’ve been to 4 of the 10 recommended locations in the end which felt cool！ Still want to return to many。I most Finished this book in a little over an hour single sitting。 Was I avoiding housework？ Maybe。 Was the book still enjoyable？ Yes。I’ve solo travelled several times in my life （solo ski weekends， 10 days in Hawaii big island， 2 weeks in Bali） so many of the fears/apprehensions in this book I feel I’ve accomplished already。 （I also commonly eat out alone in SF/NYC。。。 bravery in small acts 😂）I’ve been to 4 of the 10 recommended locations in the end which felt cool！ Still want to return to many。I most enjoyed the 5-6 stories of solo travel in the back of the book。 “My soul needed a kick in the backside”This book inspired me a bit more to write down my tangible goals for my solo sabbatical to help inform how long， which places and who with！I also think there are some good references to refer to when closer to more detailed planning， travel books are the peak for signal/noise ratio in the internet world。Man。。。 I really can’t wait for a covid vaccine 🙇🏼‍♀️ 。。。more

Mike ，

Seemed like a good book， but only got about 1/3 through。 Too much tiny font， made worse by fancy shaded backgrounds， so was often grey on a colour。 Looked very nice visually， but unusable， so big fail。 I'll return it to the library unfinished。 Seemed like a good book， but only got about 1/3 through。 Too much tiny font， made worse by fancy shaded backgrounds， so was often grey on a colour。 Looked very nice visually， but unusable， so big fail。 I'll return it to the library unfinished。 。。。more

Altary ，

Ideas for pre， during， and post solo travel。 I enjoyed the personal stories on how solo travel changed the individual lives。

Amanda ，

Definitely one I would pick up again for the resources。 I think I knew a lot of the material covered， but I like that they brought it all together in one book。 Also， the experience stories were fun to read。 I would like to see more on individual city recommendations。

Cristina Fawaz ，

I have traveled solo before and found this guide to offer additional insight regarding travel in general。 I wish it had more detail about the travel destinations it includes， but other than that I enjoyed it。 It also suggests various travel apps， all for different use purposes。 I will certainly put some of what I learned into use in my next solo travels。

Ann Grealish Rust ，

Mostly written for a younger audience。 Some good websites。

Chris ，

Good book if you have rarely traveled， but not much new info for me。 I may have learned one or two small tips from the bookxe。com-app for currency exchange。

MJ ，

Interesting read

Christina ，

A quick， concise， visually-appealing read for those completely new to traveling — in particular， solo。 Lots of ideas for first trips， safety & health advice， money advice & tons of resources — there is a lot of info。 That being said， it is heavy on the bullet points/numbered lists， photos， graphics & large， fancy fonts — so while atheistically appealing， it contains less information than you would expect。 Yes， you can get the same info online （isn’t that true for all non-fiction books？）， but it’ A quick， concise， visually-appealing read for those completely new to traveling — in particular， solo。 Lots of ideas for first trips， safety & health advice， money advice & tons of resources — there is a lot of info。 That being said， it is heavy on the bullet points/numbered lists， photos， graphics & large， fancy fonts — so while atheistically appealing， it contains less information than you would expect。 Yes， you can get the same info online （isn’t that true for all non-fiction books？）， but it’s nice to have in one convenient guide。 Ideally this book is geared towards a younger traveller but there are solid takeaways for everyone。 。。。more

Danika ，

A very inspiring read！

Kenna ，

Some good suggestions for apps and saving money， but nothing you wouldn’t know if you’ve ever travelled before， abroad or not。 It’s the same spiel you’d read on any travel site or book。 Nothing special。

Lisa Sim ，

Great ideas and inspiration！ Thank you Lonely Planet！ The smart， cautionary warnings we're also much appreciated。 Great ideas and inspiration！ Thank you Lonely Planet！ The smart， cautionary warnings we're also much appreciated。 。。。more

I read this book as I was preparing for my first solo trip。 I liked it for it's colorful graphical pages - on the information front it was sparse。 I think the only thing that can prepare you for solo travel， is to actually take the plunge。 There's no book for that。 I read this book as I was preparing for my first solo trip。 I liked it for it's colorful graphical pages - on the information front it was sparse。 I think the only thing that can prepare you for solo travel， is to actually take the plunge。 There's no book for that。 。。。more

Thoroughly enjoyed the book。 I'm a solo traveller and could relate to the cautions， as well as revisiting many of the cities I've been to。 Great ideas and hints for first-time visitors。 Thoroughly enjoyed the book。 I'm a solo traveller and could relate to the cautions， as well as revisiting many of the cities I've been to。 Great ideas and hints for first-time visitors。 。。。more

This is a good book about traveling！I'm not sure how up to date some of the resources are since there's a lot of links to websites that may or may not be up to date and suggestions for apps。 There are also specific hotel and hostel names that are listed that again， could change over time。But the pictures are beautiful and there is practical advice about planning， budgeting， and places to go。 There's also advice for women who travel alone and some articles about people who travel。 It's a short an This is a good book about traveling！I'm not sure how up to date some of the resources are since there's a lot of links to websites that may or may not be up to date and suggestions for apps。 There are also specific hotel and hostel names that are listed that again， could change over time。But the pictures are beautiful and there is practical advice about planning， budgeting， and places to go。 There's also advice for women who travel alone and some articles about people who travel。 It's a short and sweet look to get you started on thinking of traveling alone。 。。。more

Vicky ，

There were a lot of tips， recommendations， websites， apps， that were pretty much all new to me， so that was worth looking through this book， like which hostels are best for solo travelers， but the vibe of the target audience felt quite specific to millennial （and gen z？） women with a very specific lifestyle who may or may not wish to become popular on Instagram。

Alice ，

Good tips and tricks for money， booking， health， safety， accomodation and food。

Amanda ，

Did anyone else notice that Safety Travel Tips #1 and #10 are the exact same？ How did this get past an editor？

Heather ，

I found this book to be helpful in travels in some ways and in others not so much。 I can see myself referencing this book when I travel。

Jeri ，

3。5 stars

KT ，

Quick read but full of useful advice。 In a hurry？ All the links are consolidated in the appendix。

Mimi Sakarett ，

Good resources in this book， including breaking down obstacles to solo travel， how to budget before the trip， a timeline of prep before the trip， and how to save money and make friends while traveling。There are some great solo travel ideas in the back of the book: South America， Vietnam， Berlin， Ubud， East Africa， Singapore， Rome， Portland Oregon， Caye Caulker Belize， and the East Coast of Australia。

Guillaume Dechamplain ，

It is for the beginner， the person that thought about doing a travel alone。 Not really for the already travelling fellow。

Lara ，

Had some decent advice。 I was more interested in the stories in the end。 I felt like the advice was a mixed bag of things I already knew， common sense， or conflicting ideas。 Probably would serve someone better had they not already spent 3 years living abroad。
