Synopsis:
Travel trends have changed thanks to the bargain prices brought in by budget airlines and low-cost tour operators, leaving an open door of opportunity, young and old, to travel the world, not just on holiday but for all sorts of reasons, from salsa dancing in Cuba to volunteering in developing countries.In this exciting new book by travel writer, Amanda Statham, you'll find everything that you need to know, about almost all kinds of travel. Gap years are now a right of a passage and work sabbaticals are bigger than ever. Nor are young women travellers merely content to simply backpack, many, inspired by the likes of Brangelina, want to do good while they're away by helping local communities.There's also a new breed of traveller; Flashpackers - people in their twenties who may have backpacked in the past but now want something a little more upmarket but still want the fun, freedom and quirkiness that backpacking provides! Travellers in their thirties are increasingly looking life-changing/enhancing travel experiences and courses, from flirt coaching in the Caribbean to capoeira in Brazil. Amanda covers it all.From short breaks to 'experiences', and from holiday romances to country guides, and not forgetting a host of useful contacts, this is the ultimate companion for the independent traveller looking for the ultimate holiday.It is a unique guide packed with practical advice. It doesn't just tell you where to go or what to do, but includes everything from health, gap years, and work sabbaticals to keeping in touch and volunteer holidays. It is published in association with "Cosmopolitan" magazine.
