    • 4/5
      Really great tips I didn’t think of!
    • 3/5
      The format and content was crisp and cute yet it felt more like a travel guide than a compelling story to be read, welcoming people in the world of solo travelling.
    • 5/5
      Great tips and stories. Fun to read. I love solo travel!
    • 1/5
      I read a few pages and my eyes were hurting. The font is so small and I can't even zoom in or enlarge it. What is point of writing a book if it's not reader friendly?
