Travel Author Holds Free Workshops For Women

By: Stephanie Elizondo Griest (View Profile)

Award-winning author Stephanie Elizondo Griest is currently traveling across the country, promoting her new guidebook, 100 Places Every Woman Should Go. Her free workshop “Traveling Sola: Tips For Wandering Women” covers everything a woman needs to know before hitting the road, including how to: pack, haggle, fend off parasites (and sketchy men), handle culture shock, and avoid getting tossed off Trans-Siberian trains for not having your papers in order. Participants will also learn about the world's most “women-friendly” destinations.
