The Solo Traveler’s Handbook

The Solo Traveler’s Handbook is for those who love and those who long to go solo.

It’s the type of book that you can pick up for a few minutes or a few hours. It’s part how-to manual and part travel literature.

I wrote The Solo Traveler’s Handbook because, over the course of the last two years writing about solo travel, it has become clear that there is a need for one comprehensive handbook with tips for fun and advice on safety.

But a book of just tips and advice can be pretty boring. So I interspersed the how-to information with a few stories from my travels and lots of color photos.

Check out the reviews, Table of Contents and read a sample chapter. You’ll get a sense of what’s on offer.

Who is Janice Waugh?

Well, I’m not a best-selling author. And I’m not speaker that commands five figures an engagement.

However, I have written hundreds of posts about solo travel and I have spoken at The Smithsonian on the subject. I’ve also been quoted in many media outlets including The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times and The Toronto Star.

It seems that my story and approach to solo travel have struck a chord.

Prior to starting the Solo Traveler project, I was a freelance writer specializing in websites, social media and how-to content on small business issues. In the 90s, I had a conference, trade show and publishing company which I started grew and then sold. Between businesses I traveled with my family for a year and returned to university to complete a Master’s Degree in History focusing on how it is represented on feature film. Yes, I snuck two interests into one degree.

Now I travel. I travel solo and I carefully observe how I do it. Then I write and share my stories, tips and advice on this blog.

I live in Toronto close to three of my four sons and most of my family.
