Free eBook: Travel Alone & Love It!

October 3, 2009 by Janice Waugh

Free ebook of solo travel stories

Click here to download a PDF of the stories

In August I tested the waters.

“Would anyone like to collaborate on a free ebook of solo travel stories?,” I asked.

I raised this question on Solo Traveler, the Solo Travel Society on Facebook and on Twitter.

The response was fabulous.

In addition to all the people who showed their enthusiasm for reading the stories, there were ten wonderful individuals who actually contributed theirs. It has been a real pleasure reading them and compiling the stories and photos into this eBook.

Solo Travel Inspiration in Free ebook

I was inspired by all of these stories.

Yet, I confess, they caused me some frustration as well.  The world is large and full of wonderful travel opportunities for adventure, learning and fun. Yes, like most of us, I'm limited by both time and money. This is why I write extensively on budget travel. Here are some recent posts that may be of help to you if you, like me, desire more travel than our bank account readily agrees to.

  • How to Plan Your Solo Travel Budget – On Any Budget
  • How to Save Money for Travel: Top Tips to Save
  • Best Budget Destinations for Solo Travelers: the 2018 Shortlist

And, of course, you can always go to our Start Here page. If you're a woman you might want to check out Solo Female Travel Advice from Women Who Know.
