Book Reviews of How to Go Almost Anywhere for Almost Nothing

Book Review: Misleading but worth it
Summary: 3 Stars

I found this book to be very disorganized and jumpy. The author doesn't stick to one idea for more than a couple pages which leads to a lack of full information on what could be very good travel advice.
Also, the book's main focus and most of the information is for traveling to Asia and a few cities in the US.
I think the tips in this book have saved me enough money to cover its price, but there are probably better books out there.

Summary of How to Go Almost Anywhere for Almost Nothing

Unimpressed with the few packaged tours that she experienced, the author launched upon the research of worldwide independent travel that would ultimately lead to the publication of How to Go Almost Anywhere for Nothing and to a new career as a writer on travel, consumer and women's issues. She has traveled extensively in Asia, Europe, North Africa and America.

--from the Introduction

I began a quest for information on REALLY cheap travel. I researched an extraordinary amount of published material and then embarked upon many years of travel and research in the United States and abroad. I have now traveled extensively and at very little expense in Asia, North America, Europe and a bit in Africa. The scope of this particular volume will necessarily focus on areas with which I have the greatest familiarity. Southeast Asia remains a favorite because of the low ground costs, and the most detailed information will cover Asian ports of call such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, with some reference to specific destinations within Europe and the United States. My latest major trip was to Morocco, and that country is covered in this edition.

In the United States, the largest port of entry cities will get the most attention, not only because three of my favorite cities fall into this category, but for the benefit of visitors from other lands. The principles outlined herein should pertain to travel almost everywhere and you will be able to apply them with just a little bit of courage and imagination.
