Travel Books
Trains, Buses, Hostels & Home Stays
Is the lack of money, fear of the unknown, or traveling solo holding you back from seeing the world?
I know how that feels! I was scared, alone and working with a limited budget when I decided to make my first trip overseas. It was because of the encouragement, advice, and travel tips I received from others that I finally ventured out.
After multiple trips for months at a time, I am now sharing some of my experiences and knowledge. My hope is to inspire you to also embrace the unknown and discover a world full of amazing places and people.
Trains and buses can be an economical way to really see a country’s diverse scenery and meet the people who live there. Hostels and home stays take away that feeling of being alone. Not only are they budget friendly, but they also offer many other benefits for the solo or with a partner traveler.
This book will help you:
- Identify where you genuinely want to go and what type of travel suits you.
- Research, plan, and book trains, buses, hostels & home stays
- Create your own customized itinerary.
- Organize documents and get mobile devices ready.
- Pack for changing locations and shared facilities.
- Stay safe and bring home lasting memories.
Traveling has given me more confidence, more understanding, and friends all over the world. Every day I am thankful that I took the plunge to explore places unknown, I hope you do too!
