This book explores why women travel solo.
Some people traveled because they love adventure.
Your equipment will be only what you need.
The original book sold 10,000 copies (1993+) and now launched is 5 Steps to Solo Travel: A Woman’s Guide to Travel in Her Prime.
I’m male, and consider myself an experienced (level 5) traveler, yet I found valuable tips throughout this book for travelers both male and female. I appreciate how each chapter includes a summary, and a takeaway, so that the important points are clear and reinforced.
Great concise guide with hundreds of practical tips and interesting stories. Dr Mary Travelbest has seen it all. Even though the book is directed to solo female travelers, most of the suggestions apply to anyone traveling whether alone or with others. Great book to take on your trip. Light and compact and easy to read a page or two at a time. Perfect for a gift. I bought several. I look forward to Part B.
The book was written to help women with independent travel. At the time of the first publication, there were no other books about “Independent Travel.” Now in the 2020’s we are covering new tools for travel, and new ways to connect with other while on the journey.
This will guide you to new place and meeting new people who are just waiting to see you, but don’t know it!
Dr. Travelbest wrote the World’s First Guide to Independent Travel and published as a world travel guide in 1993. She sold more than 10,000 copies, directly through direct marketing channels and events. She knows her audience better than anyone, having encouraged these readers and pass along readers to travel and share their stories. Since that publication, more than 100 million miles (10k miles per person conservatively) have been recorded directly by people who have read her book, going places on planes, trains, autos, bikes, and on foot.
Dr. Travelbest is a pseudonym because Dr. Mary Beth McCabe was not sounding like a travel book author. The tradition will be carried forth by her daughter, Ms. Christina Shubat (Ms. Travelbest), and for possible generations to come.
Dr. McCabe is a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) in marketing from a globally focused university and has owned her Marketing and Media agency for decades, serving Fortune 500 companies with cross cultural marketing and digital strategies.
Point Loma Nazarene University marketing professor Dr. Mary Beth McCabe has written a new book about her other passion of traveling by herself.
“5 Steps to Solo Travel, A Woman’s Guide to Travel in Her Prime, Part A,” released last month, has been ranked as high as #4 on Amazon’s “solo travel” category. McCabe uses Dr. Mary Travelbest as her pen name.
According to McCabe, the 174-page guidebook is targeted for the 47-to-74year-old woman who has experienced a life change, such as retiring, relocating, divorcing or becoming a widow. “The key to success for a woman traveling alone is to take the book’s five steps in order. She needs to jump-in at every step so she can choose her own unique journey,” McCabe said.
“Whether a woman travels by plane, bus, train, bicycle, foot or wheelchair, solo travel is essentially a confidence builder for anyone who feels stuck. Women need to travel in their prime while they still have the ability.”
The five steps include start with an overnight stay close to home, followed by visiting a nearby state, then traveling to multiple U.S. states before traveling overseas to an Englishspeaking country and, finally, traveling to a non-native country to learn about another culture.
