Book Reviews of A girls' guide to India - a survivor's handbook

Book Review: Real, practical,down and dirty information that we needed.
Summary: 5 Stars

I was terrified of the idea of going to India by myself. I added this book to my Amazon order along with all the other usual travel books. I haven't put a Girls Guide down since I bought it. How lucky are us girls that Louise chose to write this book. At one point I literally cried in relief for the information that she has provided. It is the real, practical, down and dirty travel information that I had been seeking. From how to fend off an aggressive sacred cow, to new ways to use something as simple as a hot water bottle. It's the A, B, C's of travel in India for women. And men, you just may learn a thing or two about what to expect when you are travelling in India as well!

Summary of A girls' guide to India - a survivor's handbook

Telling it like it is, 'A girls' guide to India - a survivor's handbook' reveals to women backpackers everywhere what they really need to know. While lads can hoist on a rucksack containing a spare pair of pants and some ageing flip-flops without worrying about personal safety, hygiene or unwanted offers of 'jiggy jiggy', a girl about to explore the sub continent will have a long list of questions that men rarely need to ask. In an A-Z of essential topics find out what to put in your backpack, the intricacies of train travel, the second use of a mosquito net, and how to navigate the Indian toilet system without public humiliation. An amusing but useful set of tips for that upcoming trip or gap year, and a ride down memory lane for seasoned travellers who are longing to return.
