### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beginners guide to travel! You will be empowered to try something new.
*by M***Y on July 15, 2017*

I'm learning how to live on my own and was looking for a book with advise on how to be more adventurous. (My husband of 45 years was our travel "organizer".) she begins with traveling with a purpose (music, foodie related, history lover) and talks about the difference between adventure travel (I want to hike and kayak) and soft adventure (I seek experiences such as a cooking class or architectural tour). Chapter 3 ends with some challenges: have lunch alone in a restaurant (yes, I did that for the first time...first visit to a local pub alone); take an overnight trip alone to a nearby place (I think I'm going to explore Thomas Jefferson's Monticello). Whitman then walks you thru the steps to mapping out your trip, choosing overnight accommodations, getting around (train, car, bus, ferries, taxis, etc). There is information on passports, visas, traveling with medications, tech gadgets; legal tender for foreign travel, staying healthy on the road, packing and packing lists, meeting the locals, and an important chapter on safety first. This book is an encouraging guide that is helping me stretch myself in a new direction. I actually read this book just before going on a group tour with friends from the US to the U.K. I felt empowered with the knowledge I gained from reading "Wanderlust and Lipstick." I am now planning a weekend away...alone, and my next vacation to the U.K., probably with another group tour. I have been bitten by the travel bug!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Very rudimentary information, not meant for a seasoned traveller
*by M***T on August 7, 2009*

Satisfaction is usually a function of expectations. I had expected this book to provide insights for independent/ solo travelers. It is actually a primer on solo domestic and international travel for those who are/ or want to embark on an initial solo trip. Most of the advise here I have written/given for employees we have sent overseas. It is all pretty basic stuff - which I think would be very helpful if you have not ever travelled and are pretty anxious about it. It would have been a great read twenty years ago when I left for Greece on my first solo trip. After a hiatus of 20 years of travel, I have been lucky enough to be in a position to travel to many destinations for work and I was looking for some more advanced insight on places that are more or less female friendly to help provide direction for my side trips. Oh well, shame on me for not reading all the info. I was going to give it two stars but have given three as this would be good for a different audience.The other thing that tweaked me was that I purchased the Amazon package of three books, this one, Wanderlust and Lipstick as well as Fly Solo. Fly Solo was the best of the three with recommendation on specific locations and why they were good choices for solo travel with details on the best things to do, unfortunately Wanderlust and Lipstick had almost the same format and same information as Journey of One's Own with minor variations between the two,so why you would package price almost the same book makes no sense to me. If you are on the verge of solo travel I would only pick one or the other you do not need both - they are redundant. I will likely return these two.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wanderlust and Lipstick Review
*by R***I on November 23, 2008*

This little book is certainly worth the price. Its an easy read but don't be fooled by the simple, straight-forward style and arrangement. It is chock-full of sound, practical advice. There are countless suggestions and links to important sites with necessary travel information. Not only do you get all of this for the price, you get motivation and support, too. Feeling a little skittish about that first foray into single travel? This author will hold your hand all the way through her insightful and well thought out book. Happy Trails!
