Fun, easy read. Humorous accounts of faux pas away from home. We've all been there.

While exceedingly funny (funny in the sense that it's funny when other people run into glass doors, but not when you do), this book is pretty much chock full of disaster travel stories. I read while on a plane heading to what I hoped would be a fabulous vacay - had to put it down because I thought I might jinx myself. I would recommend reading during a time when you don't have any vacations planned.

It was OK. I thought it would be funnier, but I did like all the contributing authors.

Ok, 6 stories shy of finishing this book...I gave up. BORING. So so sorry. Picked this book up thinking it would be funny and it really just put me to sleep. Don't waste your time!

I thought this was a nice compilation of funny stories. I bought it over a decade ago and read some of the chapters. On a recent visit to my parent's house I rediscovered the book and read it all over again. Funnily enough, I still remembered some of the stories. I've actually been a lone woman traveller at some points in my life so it was possible to relate to the women in this book. What I'm really grateful for is that it veers away from scary predatory stories that a lot of books about women traveling rant on about and instead sticks to the funny incidents.

This book will make women not want to travel, especially alone. And for that reason I am not a fan.

So funny & inspiring. Gave it to Jordan, a British girl I met in Vietnam.

My dear spouse purchased this book series for me knowing I love (1) to travel and (2) to write. He was hoping it would inspire me to write my own stories, and I think it will. It does seem that much of women travel stories revolve around bathrooms and other mishaps with personal hygiene. A quick fun read.

B- Cheesy stories, some of which are not very good, with a good laugh sometimes

I thought this group of stories was poorly edited. The only funny one was the Laurie Notaro piece which I had already read in one of her books. It was a little frustrating that little quotes and short stories were randomly dropped in within other stories. Two thumbs down!
