In 2011, Alexa West sat on her bedroom floor, packed her life into a backpack, and got on a one-way flight with just $200 in her pocket. She turned that $200 into over ten years of full-time travel. She went from budget backpacker to solo female travel expert—and now teaches thousands of women how to travel alone and make money from anywhere. The One-Way Ticket Plan reveals her decade’s worth of lessons, regrets, embarrassments, love stories, shortcuts, and problem-solving strategies—all packed into a hilarious book and actionable plan for a total life makeover.

You don’t need a boyfriend, a travel partner, or anyone’s approval to travel the world. And you don’t need a massive bank account or an entire summer off work.

You are just as capable, just as smart, and just as brave as the rest of us. You don’t need permission - this is your life. Listen to your gut, follow your heart, and just book that ticket already! Your copy of The Solo Girl's Travel Guide is waiting to dissolve your worries and give you that extra push.

Full of blunt humor, travel wisdom, and the occasional swear word, The Solo Girl’s Travel Guide combines travel instruction with travel inspiration for the only “can’t put this book down” travel guide on the market. Following a similar layout and format to Lonely Planet, The Solo Girl’s Travel Guide is a comprehensive travel guidebook in every sense but is filled with female-friendly content that makes trip-planning fun and approachable (while steering women clear of scams, creeps, and sketchy locations).

There are two sides to Bangkok: one expensive, cheesy side for the tourists and one magical, affordable side for the locals and expats.

Written by a solo female traveler and Bangkok expat, get ready to experience Bangkok off the tourist path like a local...and do it all while avoiding the scams, creeps, and sketchy hang outs.
