In twenty-three beautifully crafted essays, women recount the thrills of traveling solo.

Despite threat-assessment levels and airport-security hassles, women of all generations are traveling more freely and independently than ever before. In that go-for-it spirit, Go Your Own Way spans the globe: adventure diva Holly Morris finds herself lost in the jungles of Borneo, alone with her thoughts and a cold-blooded companion; Lara Triback's quest to learn the tango takes her to the late-night dance floors of Buenos Aires; Stephanie Griest finds female friends invaluable in her journey through Uzbekistan; and Amy Balfour recounts a hilarious trek up Yosemite's Half Dome.

The writers in Go Your Own Way pay tribute to the empowerment of independent adventure and discovery, offering up the perfect antidote for today's climate of fear and international discord. All the while, they show that alone doesn't have to mean lonely. ]]> http://travelphilosophystore.com/go-your-own-way-women-travel-the-world-solo/feed/ 0 No Strings Attached: The Savvy Guide to Solo Travel (Capital Travels) http://travelphilosophystore.com/no-strings-attached-the-savvy-guide-to-solo-travel-capital-travels/ http://travelphilosophystore.com/no-strings-attached-the-savvy-guide-to-solo-travel-capital-travels/#comments Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:04:29 +0000 Gillian http://travelphilosophystore.com/no-strings-attached-the-savvy-guide-to-solo-travel-capital-travels/ No Strings Attached adventures can be as simple as an afternoon or a day tagged onto a business trip, or an entire month traveling by yourself.
