Free Book For Women Travelers Teaches 25 Bandana Tips
Ladies will want to order a free copy of the conveniently purse-sized book 101 Tips for Women Travelers. The tips were compiled by Harriet Lewis, the vice chair of Overseas Adventure Travel, a company that caters to Americans 50 and older. Despite the company's audience, the tips don't target seniors. For that matter, most of the tips aren't even gender-specific.
Disclaimer for the guys: You'll find tons of good suggestions in the book that you can use, but you'll also encounter a few girly tips, like using panty liners to extend the use of your lady drawers and help you feel oh so fresh while you're on the go. But overall, the advice is good for all travelers. For example, fabric softener sheets pull triple duty by making the ripe clothes in your luggage smell good, repelling mosquitoes and warding off bedbugs. Then there are some super-specific recommendations that won't be applicable to most people, like be sure to sit sidesaddle on a camel to avoid getting a urinary tract infection.
There are a few that we'd never follow—we're not going to steam iron our dollar bills before heading to China. And Lewis pays homage to the bandana in a list of its 25 uses, though we don't think they serve as elegant shoulder wraps or good hostess gifts. But most of the tips are handy. They are organized into sections that correspond to planning, preparing and being on your journey. Plus, the book is peppered with vignettes of historic, ground-breaking female travelers, including Wang Zhaojun, who rode 1,000 miles horseback through the Gobi Desert, and Mariana Starke, who created the precursor to the modern guidebook.
