Around the world with a different viewpoint...

I bought this book before going overseas for the first time and found the stories compelling and informative. Rich with tips and tricks, it is unique in that it is written from the viewpoint of Black female travelers. From China to Yugoslavia, across the African diaspora from Africa to the Caribbean, and other points abroad, these stories of world travel are often funny, sometimes reflective, and always interesting.

An essay guide for African-American women who want to travel

One of the reasons we don't get the chance to see the world, the author says is a need for a travel companion and lack of money. Elaine Lee says that it can be overcome. In this book, there are essays that will help the traveler get a feel of what it is like to be in another country and enjoy traveling without a companion. In this book money shouldn't be an issue if you plan accordingly and find deals on flights and stays. This book is a reference for not only black women, but African-Americans who want to have a chance to see the world.
