  • How to save money for your trip.

This book is not for you

  • If you are already an experienced solo traveler.
  • If you are happy to put up with a week’s vacation a year.
  • If you never want to leave your city, let alone travel abroad.
  • If you are looking for every step to be planned for you. Go on a tour.

But if you’re adventurous, independent and curious about the world it’s going to be great.
And if you’re interested in traveling abroad but don’t know if you can, this book will help you decide.

Other people have said:

This kind of independent travel can be very daunting and intimidating for a young woman wanting to do it on her own and I think this e-book really demystifies and ‘de-terrifies’ the whole decision for young women. I would recommend this to any of my young female customers and I am really glad there is something out there like this which I am sure will get more young women travelling the world.

“It is time to stop dreaming your life and start living your dreams”: this is the philosophy behind Stephanie Lee’s new book “The Art of Solo Travel – A Girls’ Guide”. This is not just a guide for solo female travelers, but an invaluable source of practical tips on how to manage a small budget on the road and on how to appreciate your time abroad by yourself.

Travelling Europe – An Indie Travel Guide

November 14, 2009 in Guides

Ready to travel to Europe for the trip of a lifetime? Feeling unsure? Not enough money? Our Europe travel guide, Travelling Europe, is the place to begin.

There’s really no reason you shouldn’t be chilling on a Greek island or getting your fill of history at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Although the world’s economy is kind of shot, there’s never been a better time to travel to Europe.

Between March 2006 and September 2008 we did just that: my wife and I spent two and half years travelling Europe, and visited 29 countries. Since February 2007, Linda and I have been running the Indie Travel Podcast and this book is the culmination of all that research and travel.

Helpful appendices give you a quick reference to European Union and Schengen states and walk you through some online technologies to help you learn before you go and stay informed easily while on the road. How about unusual cities to explore or places to go with your kids? It’s all in our Europe travel guide.

This book is best suited for people who have never travelled abroad before or never travelled in Europe. It’s not a traditional travel guide with places to stay and things to see, rather it focusses on preparation and research questions. It’s the travel guide to read before you get a guide book.
