Hannah Blank (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1997

Jet-lag, lost luggage, boredom, street-crime, hostile locals, crowds, heavy weather, being left in the lurch by a tour-operator, health risks in the air are just a few of the things that can go wrong on an overseas trip and this book ferrets out most of them, with tactics for preventing them, or coping with them if they happen.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The title is eye-catching, but Hannah Blank assumes you're just pigheaded enough to go anyway, so she provides "176 Tactics for Coping with Discomforts, Distress and Danger." She covers visas and boredom, jet lag and sunburn, money changers, strikes, and the off-putting side of a foreign culture--including smells, language, fanaticism, police, and xenophobia. She's not trying to ruin the travel industry; she's voicing your hidden fears, then addressing them reasonably and rationally, one by one.

Review

Accompanying the author's 50+ reasons not to travel is a practical guide which identifies personal discomforts and dangers of international travel, and how to overcome them. Blank's traveled for personal and business pleasure for over forty years: her experiences contribute to a savvy, practical guide. -- Midwest Book Review
