The Smart Woman’s Guide to Safer Travel

You want to travel. And you want to do it safely.

You don’t want a list of things to be scared of. You want to know how to spot a fake taxi, how to book a place that’s actually safe and not just pretty in the photos, and what makes you look like a target versus what doesn’t. I’m Lisa. I’ve traveled full time for nearly a decade, carry-on only, through close to 100 countries. This guide answers all of it - and goes deeper than you’d expect.

One read now, and it pays you back on every trip after - in the bookings you make, the taxis you skip, and the nights you actually sleep.

Inside, you’ll learn how to

Read a neighborhood first

Tell which area is actually safe before you book - not after you’ve arrived.

Choose where to stay

Look past the photos and spot the things most people never think to check.

Handle airports and taxis

Navigate airports, taxis, and rideshares in places where the rules are completely different from home.

Protect what matters

Keep your phone, your money, and your documents safe every single day you’re traveling.

Trust your instincts

Understand why women are so often taught to override intuition - and how to stop.

Know what to do when it goes wrong

Exactly what to do in the moment, so a bad moment stays a small one.

Plus: 8 grab-and-go checklists and a fill-in emergency contact card

Print them, pack them, and use them on every single trip.

Why I wrote it

You’re not afraid to travel. You just want to feel more prepared.

Nobody sat either of us down and taught us this stuff. We just got unlucky enough times to figure it out, so you don’t have to.

So I put everything I trust into one place.

“It’s not about fear. It’s about quietly reducing your vulnerability before problems start - so you can relax and enjoy the trip.”

What readers are saying

A few of the notes travelers have sent after picking up the guide.

“Really happy to get this as I am an older and now single woman who would like to travel more on my own.”

“I just purchased and wanted to thank you for all your posts and advice. My daughter will be studying abroad in Rome for Spring 2027… I’ve learned SO MUCH and your tips have really helped. I’ll be using this guide and sharing with my daughter. Thanks again… take care! <3”

“I am thrilled with the new book, especially as it comes in epub so I can have it on my travel buddy - my Kobo ereader - for perpetuity! Also thank you for the checklist. I do travel alone, and have on and off since 1981. I wish I’d had this then but I’ll take it now!”
