A good one for the road…
I just finished reading Sunni’s book of advice for the solo traveler, but especially for women going it alone. The conversational style is very appealing–I feel like I know Sunni just through the enthusiasm, humor, and wisdom that come through the winning writing style. The words don’t get in the way of the content, if you know what I mean. For those of us who are compulsive proof-readers, it’s well written and nicely free of typos, grammatical problems, etc.–I enjoyed reading it.
One of the things I liked about this book was the validation I felt for my own enjoyment of solo travel. (I don’t know how many times I’ve had someone say to me some variant of “You’re going alone?!? Isn’t that scary/lonely/boring/etc.” I’ve been a women traveling alone since my 30’s (and I’m now 65), and I love the feelings of freedom and empowerment. Sunni captures this perfectly, and I think a good amount will transfer to anyone reading the book who’s hesitant about going it alone. In spite of having taken many trips on my own, there were still numerous tips and suggestions I found useful–always carry a card with your accommodation’s address and phone number on it, gay bars can be less pressure on a woman, dealing with being ‘hit on’, and so on. There are numerous bookmarks in my Kindle copy.

This is a fantastic book for the solo traveller
This is a fantastic book for the solo traveller, packed full of information and advice that will go a long way to ensuring peace of mind on one’s journey. The book includes everything one needs to know about setting forth on a solo adventure – from partying safely, to purchasing travel insurance and everything in-between! The advice is practical and useful, and will assist both men and women in their travel preparations. However the book is really geared towards empowering women to feel confident in travelling on their own and the author peppers the book with anecdotes from her own extensive travel history. Informative and entertaining too, this really is an essential guide for the solo female traveller. Get it before you go and take some advice from a seasoned traveller who has already been there and done that. I highly recommend this book for any woman ready to discover the world!

I love it, I feel like the author put a …
WOW ! I love it, I feel like the author put a lot of her heart and passion into the book. I had the sense of having an actual conversation with her!
It made me sometimes smiling, giggeling and also having some tears in the eyes because she either just hit the right spot when talking about traveling or because I was reminded of very beautiful or also sad situations…
I’m used to traveling with a minimum of prepartion. It went all well till now, but there are some pretty good points made in the book. Next time I will keep that in mind! Thanks for reading through the travel insurance paper, I never thought that far about alcohol-accidents for example…
Thank you also for your insights about going alone into a bar/club! I think that’s one thing I’m still too uncomfortable to do and having read this very thoughtful written book, makes me feel more prepared… more ready !!
I really appreciate the Debriefing & Looking after you chapter! So so so important! Especially about the crying and the feeling one has, after beeing totally run over by other people (yeah, men and women), just because I am a woman and traveling alone… and young.
Traveling is just such an addictive cocktail of emotions, experiences and some disappointments and more wonders!
In short: Must-have for every female traveler !!

A mind opening look into the vast possibilities of travel for women who love to feel independent & free…
This book is not only for women who seek true independence, but also cultural expansion, diversity & adventure. Sunni inspires the optimism & bravery required to explore places that are sadly often left untouched by solo female travellers. This book will challenge all of your preconceived ideas about travel. It offers contemporary information on where to travel & how to travel… but most importantly… it broadens any limiting perspectives in regards to location accessibility, financial requirements & personal safety. If your feeling stuck in life & want to break though restrictive thinking in regards to travel potentiality… if you want to make change in your life, take well planned risks & live brave… then this book is for you. It will help you to cultivate the mindset required to head out into this beautiful world of ours with confidence & pride. Not only does Sunni address the emotional aspects of travel, she also uses her master preparation & planing skills to assist you to prepare & plan like a seasoned pro.

Great advice for women AND men, solo or otherwise!
I really enjoyed the through descriptions of the preparatory work necessary to travel! I also really loved the stories Sunni shared to illustrate her point. I’ve also travelled as a solo woman before, and can confirm that the hollaring/ripping off is definitely very irksome (or worse)! It’s great to get some tips on how to handle this – the Safety section is probably my favorite section in the book and I wish I’d know some of the stuff Sunni pointed out before my first Eurotrip.
Thanks for the sharing your optimism and practicality! Can’t wait for the next book.

The ultimate guide indeed!
Even as a seasoned traveller I gained some tips for Kicking Ass on the Road. Sunni covers every topic and leaves nothing un turned, which is great for new travellers as she discusses things such as underwear, condoms, health, safety, accommodation and a whole host more! More than that Sunni offers practical tips and thoughtful advice for any women considering travelling solo – Go girls, it’s totally worth it!

Good tips for international solo travel!
Some good tips, it’s definitely geared more towards international travel though, not a lot that pertains to domestic.

Absolutely love it.
I’ve met Sunni in person and I can assure you, she is kicking ass on the road. Even though I’m not a woman solo traveller, I got the book instantly, because the author is so great. Thanks for sharing your wisdom in a practical way, Sunni. Highly recommended!
