Backpackers' Guide to the Globe: An Intrepid Travel Guide for the Solo Adventurer

Backpackers' Guide to the Globe is a how-to-travel guide written by Kim and Natasha, two friends who have never traveled together but separately have navigated through more than sixty countries (and counting), mostly as solo female backpackers. Through tried and tested practical advice and first-person narratives, they highlight both the mechanics of backpacking internationally, as well as share advice they wish they'd each had before setting out. They cover everything from booking a hostel (they love hostels!), to period-preparedness, to the mental and emotional toll that long-term travel can have on a person.

Backpackers' Guide to the Globe was written to encourage wanderlust individuals to trust in themselves and adventure around the world...alone. What makes this book unique and one you will want to reference back to, is every chapter ends in at least ten Bucket List travel ideas, that you may one day, check off your list!
