As contributor Hannah Stuart-Leach says "The only way I’ve found to combat anxiety is, as self-help gurus so carelessly advise, to feel the fear and do it anyway.''

With a foreward from former broadcaster Jan Leeming and stories from writers such as Wanderlust magazine editor Phoebe Smith and Bradt founder Hilary Bradt, its a must book and if you haven't yet tried solo travelling, you might just after reading it!
