Solo Women Travellers: A Guide to Staying Safe, Staying Brave

Alba Lewis has been travelling alone since she was thirteen. Decades on — overland through China and Russia, diving off remote islands in Malaysia, talking her way out of trouble in more countries than she can count — she's distilled a lifetime of solo female travel into one honest, practical guide.

This isn't a book that tells you travelling alone is scary. It's a book that tells you exactly what to do about it. Real advice on packing light, staying safe, handling money and paperwork on the road, and reading risk without letting fear run the show — alongside the stories that taught her the hard way, told with the humour that got her through them.

For every woman who's ever wondered whether she's brave enough to go it alone: you are. This is how.
