| Description: | Select Guide Rating Roam Alone: Inspiring Tales of Reluctant Solo Travel - Travel literature collection of tales from travellers who go solo by necessity, and apprehensively, but learn to love it, from top travel writers to new authors. Part literature, part guide, with tips for successful solo travel. Reassuring, entertaining and inspiring. A unique title from Bradt, showcasing a brand new collection of remarkable travellers'' tales with a different slant, following on the heels of To Oldly Go!, one of the UK''s best-selling travel titles of 2015. All the contributors were initially reluctant solo travellers, apprehensive about taking the plunge to go it alone after years of travel with a partner or friend. Some have embarked on the trip of a lifetime, walking or cycling alone through potentially hostile countries, but finding only kindness and hospitality - with a few hairy adventures thrown in. One story is by Bradt founder Hilary Bradt, who confronted her fears and set out to fulfil a childhood dream to ride a horse through Ireland shortly after her marriage broke up. Others are widows and widowers in their later years who were anxious about joining an organised trip on their own or who wanted to make a difference in the world by volunteering their experience and knowledge. Many ages, many personalities, one goal: to travel, and one stumbling block: anxiety. Part literature, part guide, with tips for successful solo travel. Reassuring, entertaining and inspiring. |
