Editorial Reviews

For some, the only way to get over a break-up is to keep moving; for others, the only solace is a spa vacation. Tired of the same old routine, one woman might opt for a trip where the sole focus is helping others; another may decide that the only real escape is a Girlfriend Getaway with her best friends. According to three-time Emmy-Award winning author Karen Schaler, the only way to change your attitude is by changing your environment — and Travel Therapy is the guide to help you get there.

With 101 unique destinations, Travel Therapy is geared toward helping readers refresh and find themselves, whether they’re dealing with a breakup or divorce, celebrating retirement, or looking to shake things up. Every chapter includes quizzes, travel tips, and extensively researched links to the best destination-specific websites to help you figure out the perfect destination for you. From daring destinations to soothing spa escapes, Travel Therapy is your road map to self-discovery, happiness, and success — whether it’s zip-lining in Belize, helping orphaned children in Africa, or beachcombing the Caribbean.

Travel is an age-old healer. Sometimes we take a trip for the right reason but end up at the wrong destination. With //Travel Therapy: Where Do You Need To Go?//, you will never choose the wrong destination again. Written by world traveler and former reporter Karen Schaler, this guide will bring fresh ideas to any experienced traveler. Each chapter focuses on a unique travel experience: getting over a breakup, volunteering, reconnecting with friends, or reinventing yourself. Unlike other travel guides that offer restaurant or hotel details, //Travel Therapy// focuses specifically on finding the right vacation for the right life situation. Once you've identified your reason for healing, you'll take a quiz to pinpoint the best trip for your needs. Are you traveling with children? Do you want to go somewhere exciting or calming? The author might recommend chocolate making in France to help you reinvent yourself or an Alaskan cruise to repair after the loss of a loved one. Whether you seek a healing cocoon of sunshine on the beach or want to fill a void by volunteering your time, //Travel Therapy// offers first-hand accounts of more than 100 destinations to help you choose.

Travel Therapy REALLY does take you away

Reviewed by Marrybeth Jacoby, 2009-05-01

Flipping through the pages made me feel like I was really in some of these places. The interesting chapter to me was Pay it Forward, it seems like a great way to give back!
On the other side of the coin I can really relate to going to some of the places in the chapter called The Big Chill. I'm ready to head to the Florida Keys today!

Excellent Travel Resource

I love this book. It's a great coffee table book filled with lots of beautiful pictures of places far, far away. But its not all style and no substance, Travel Therapy is filled with useful information to help you plan your next trip. Keep it on hand for life's little surprises, you never know when you're going to need to get away for some sanity.
