101 TIPS for WOMEN TRAVELERS
This book is dedicated to the women who travel with Overseas Adventure Travel and our sister companies, Grand Circle Cruise Line and Grand Circle Travel—and to women travelers everywhere, who inspire me with their courage, curiosity, generosity, and passion for discovery. Thank you to those who have shared their experience and wisdom through their contributions to this book. In a world sorely in need of understanding, these spirited ladies are the best goodwill ambassadors we could ever hope for. May you continue to spread the love.
