The handbook you need to plan your solo trip.
Read this handbook in one day and loved it straight away. Lots of tips, links and dedicated chapters to different solo travels. Recommended if you are looking to plan your first solo trip.

Good read
Great book, interesting topics and inspirations. Half way through reading it I booked my first solo adventure, and then I went to do the soli travelling, I felt I knew everything I needed to know and I didn’t forget anything!

Good trip planner
Bought this for my daughter who is planning a solo trip to Australia. Only just given it to her for Christmas but I had a look through it & it contains lots of useful things to think about when planning a trip alone.

Useful for a first time traveller
Honestly the most helpful book ever, I’m going travelling in September on my own for the first time and being so young having this book full of tips and what to bring etc has really been helpful and it includes things I wouldn’t even think about such as when is best to book hostels giving you good websites and all sorts. Would really really recommend this book for anyone going on their first travel!

Nice for beginners, but not really a handbook
The book is very well presented with beautiful photography and nice graphics, and it contains useful tips if you have no or little solo travel experience. However, the amount of real "down to earth" information is fairly limited once you really look at it, and spread out in a way that in my opinion is not well organized (luckily there is a recap of the resources mentioned during the book at the end). Also, if you are a relatively experienced traveler (solo or otherwise) you'll know most of the stuff you can find in this book. I would say calling it a "handbook" is stretching it a bit.

PDF-Doppelseiten: unlesbar
Dies Buch als Kindle Ausgabe ist unbrauchbar, weil nicht Textpassagen und Bilder wie üblich dargestellt werden, sondern Doppelseiten des Buches abgebildet werden. Ich benutze den Andriod Kindle Reader auf meinem Samsung A52 Smartphone. Dort gibt es auch keine Zoomfunktion, mit der ich in Den Text hineinzoomen könnte. Infolgedessen nicht lesbar. Zum Vergleich: das Lonely Planet Buch "Southern Africa" ist exzellent für den Reader aufbereitet. Hierfür gibt's eigentlich fünf Minus-Sterne. Und das Buch geht wieder zurück!

Things You Need To Know Even If You Aren't Traveling Alone
When traveling there are many things you need to think about while planning and this book gives you so many helpful tips. I had seen it in the library but realized it's value in planning a trip so I just had to have my own copy.

Mehr erwartet..
Hatte mir von dem Buch leider mehr erwartet. Insgesamt findet man nicht wirklich viel neues, gerade wenn man schon öfters alleine verreist ist. Viele Tipps und Hinweise aus dem Buch sollten eigentlich Allgemeinwissen sein (z.B. dass man vorher durchgeht welche Medikamente man braucht, etc). Es ist leider auch größtenteils nur Werbung.
