"There is no happiness where there is no wisdom;
No wisdom but in submission to the gods.
Big words are always punished,
And proud men in old age learn to be wise."
- Sophocles
(495 BC - 406 BC),
Antigone

| |  | | | In Brief
No mention is made whether the 28 accounts were written for the anthology or were collected from various places. Mostly veteran travellers recount how they began expeditions with the highest dreams, and encountered such surprises as angry bears, exploding toilets, malaria, sea penises, and a music ensemble for which she was the lead instrument. A list of resources, but no index or bibliography is provided.

| | | | From The Publisher
The Unsavvy Traveler is a collection of the comic and cathartic tales of more than 25 women travelers, including a soggy bicyclist who takes shelter in an Irish pub, only to become the evening's inebriated musical entertainment; a staunch hiker who battles a bear with a bag of M&Ms; and a flustered tourist who tries to figure out Japan's curious bathroom etiquette. These women are hilarious casualties of tourism, whether they're breezy, independent trekkers who discover the necessity of preparation far too late or impeccable travelers suddenly beset by the mischievous whims of destiny. In every case, their stories embody the merriest spirit of the intrepid adventurer. Includes contributions from best-selling author Marybeth Bond, journalist Alice Evans, Sharon Grimberg (series editor of PBS's American Experience), and Ayun Halliday (publisher of East Village Inky).
