Castle Rock, CO: More than 9 million women traveled alone outside the United States in one year, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s most recent available statistics . “Many more women would travel on their own if they felt confidence doing so,” asserts Maria Richard, seminar leader and author of Traveling Solo: Willow Woman on the Road. “There is a growing demand for information, tips and techniques for successful solo travel which is why the topic is so popular.”
Women who travel alone are the focus of Traveling Solo: Willow Woman on the Road, a new book available in print and eBook format. In addition to tips specific to solo journeying, the book includes chapters on Road Trips and Camping as well as advice on how to become more confident traveling alone. Richard advises women who are hesitant to venture out to "do a lot of research on the destination, book a side tour with a reputable company to visit areas that may be unsafe to visit alone at night and then take the trip."
