I was a Flight Attendant for over 35 years however my traveling experiences go back even farther. After college, I backpacked through Europe for three months. That was traveling light and cheap. I cannot help you with the cheap part today but I have a significant amount of traveling light advice! I have observed, or made just about every travel mistake possible. This book is intended to save your sanity when traveling. If I can do Europe, six countries in seven days, spend a week in Ireland with only a small carry-on, travel standby with two children to just about anywhere, I am more than qualified to pass on knowledge learned from my mistakes and successes. I have experienced or witnessed just about every travel headache imaginable. So, get with it, use my ideas, stress free tips and learn to travel the easy way, and the light way.
