Description

“The ideal companion for the solo traveler, both before and during her trip.” — Pauline Frommer  
Achieve your solo female travel dreams with this empowering guide for women who want to see the world—perfect for anyone who has felt the tug of wanderlust after reading Wild, Eat Pray Love, or What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding.

If you’ve ever wanted to travel solo, founder of global women’s travel community Wanderful, Beth Santos, is here to tell you that you’re not alone.
 
Travel isn’t just about how many passport stamps you have—it’s about your mindset. In Wander Woman, Santos busts myths about who can travel, empowering women to uncover the confidence they need to see the world for themselves, by themselves, and giving them the lifelong tools to challenge your preconceptions, try something new, and get out of your comfort zone—whether that’s halfway around the world or just down the street.  
 
Readers will also learn…
  • A new rubric for personal safety that pushes back on traditional ideas of what’s “safe” for women.
  • How to eat alone (and not have to make awkward small talk with the waiter).
  • Why a “Day Zero” will revolutionize your itinerary.
  • Where to find community and a new perspective on what “counts” as solo travel
  • How to travel ethically, sustainably, and in budget.

As much a how-to guide as it is a source of inspiration and support, Wander Woman invites us to be mindful about why we travel, who it affects, and how we can make it better for everyone.
 
Whether you’re ready to chase your Under the Tuscan Sun fantasy, are preparing for study abroad, or just want to feel more comfortable on business trips, Wander Woman is your must-have guide to exploring the world without fear.

I love this book! I cannot wait to gift it to friends. Beth Santos has a great way with words and has built a book to allay any fears you have about traveling solo. This book is empowering, inspiring and the perfect amount of aspirational. Beth doesn't pull any punches and she addresses all of the fears and realities that face female solo travelers.

Beth breaks everything down and reminds us that a short trip is a great first step and just booking the flight might be intimidating but it's a perfect start.

I love her writing and her inclusionary terms and resources. I think this book will stand in for that trusted friend that can advise you!

The resources at the end of the book are endless. This is a great gift or a book you should read if you are ready to take that step. Pick up Wander Woman and start your own adventure!

THIS IS THE BOOK I NEEDED. I am an avid solo traveler (or solo travel + my small child). At first I thought maybe this book would be too...beginner for me, but even the most beginner parts sparked new ideas for me. At the end of the book, the author talks about reentry after travel and how it can affect you (and maybe no one else around you knows you're struggling). I've NEVER been able to describe this feeling or find people who can explain it like Beth did. Whether you're new to solo travel or have solo traveled 500 times, this is a great book for you!
