      Solo travel changed journalist and freelance travel writer Wills' life, and it could work for readers, too. Combining autobiography, bibliography, and plain good trip advice, Wills' essay collection centers on books by female traveler-writers--journalist Nellie Bly, novelist Virginia Woolf, longtime New Yorker writer Emily Hahn, and Jeanne Baret, who dressed as a man to see the world in 1768, among many others. Wills' personal story enhances the narrative: a quick marriage and equally quick breakup with husband Sam, yearslong singledom, then a surprise hookup with ex-fling Guy, not to mention her own trips as an intrepid reporter. In between are lists of amazingly helpful counsel: Turn the phone off to have an adventure. Take out one pair of shoes (and maybe more) when trying to pack light. Illustrate your travel journals. Venture out during the day to keep safe and secure. Rely on the kindness of strangers when things are not going well. And, pandemically speaking, volunteer and get virtual on museum visits. This paean to traveling alone offers inspiration, humor, and generally great reading.
