The Top 5 Lists of All Things Travel by Toni Takeno and Kristine Castagnaro


My Rating: 4 of 5 Stars

About the Book:
 Whether you are a travel newbie or a seasoned explorer, there is always something new to learn.

Kristine and Toni, co-founders of travel company, Journey Soulo, have visited 19 countries around the world and have collected tips, tricks and stories on each trip. The result? The Top 5 Things of All Things Travel -- a book full of simple (and sometimes silly) lists that will help you plan and embark on your next trip.

Through this quick read you will:

• Discover fun places to stay that you may never have considered.
• Learn new ways to save for your next trip.
• Learn to avoid the pigeon **** pickpocket.
• Discover what this means: Wo kann ich Lederhosen in meiner Größe?
• Be inspired to plan your next trip now!

The Top 5 Things of All Things Travel also includes stories from fellow travelers, links to helpful websites and apps, and space for you to add your own lists (in the paperback version).

The Top 5 Things of All Things Travel provides you with a planning template to use whether you’re preparing for a trip to a neighboring state or a foreign country, traveling with a group or making a go of it solo. By the end of the book you’ll be ready to book the trip of your dreams!
My Thoughts:
This book was...actually pretty fun to read. I love to travel, though I don't get to as often as I would like(plus, I don't want to leave my furbabies for long!). So, I was more than happy to pick up some tips. Maybe you want to know how to save some space in your suitcase, or maybe you want to know how to avoid being taken advantage of by the occasional local with bad intentions. This guide helps with that and more and is a truly comprehensive book for people who love to travel but aren't quite an expert at it...yet. This book I see as becoming a sort of guidebook for me, one I will pick up over and over as I prepare for and embark on whatever travels life takes me on. It's sometimes funny, always informative, I recommend this book for anyone preparing for their next trip!
