The author of the bestselling Solo Girl's Travel Guide series shares her blueprint for women wanting to travel the world while making money, falling in love, and finding their purpose

Traveling solo can be an amazing and life-altering adventure for some women, while others hesitate to try it, for reasons that Alexa West will dispel. Traveling and living outside the U.S. has become more viable than ever as a long-term lifestyle, but how do you do it? In 2010, West turned the $200 in her pocket into over ten years of solo travel -- full of money, new experiences, and hilarious travel adventures.

Through her blog and social media, she's found many women eager to follow the same path. But they have questions: How do you afford travel when you're broke? Is it safe to travel alone as a woman? How do you avoid scams, creeps, and tourist traps? And importantly, how do you fund your travel? The One-Way Ticket Plan is the inspirational blueprint West wishes she'd had when she began her travels. The guide to traveling with less fear and more fun, it gives women both the courage and the instruction to turn their dream into a reality, step by step, covering:

- real-world, practical advice on how travel can lower the cost of living, help pay off debt, grow a bank account, or simply support a financially sustainable adventure
- tips for using travel to escape a toxic relationship, toxic family, or toxic job
- guidance on the details, such as traveling safely; managing money; using strange toilets; coping with friendships and loneliness, romance and heartbreak; exploring cultures; recovering from culture shock; planning, prepping, and packing for journeys; dealing with unfamiliar foods; finding help when needed; and handling hiccups and bumps, like getting sick, that may derail your travel
- guidance on deciding when -- and if -- to return to home as the new version of you

The One-Way Ticket Plan reveals a decade's worth of growth, lessons, embarrassments, regrets, love stories, achievements, and problem-solving strategies packed into a fun, page-turning, and actionable plan for a total life makeover.
