on a budget. 

The Complete Guide to Independent Travel was the first travel book to cover the reality of life on the road. Other guides had discussed where to stay and what to see, but few shared the information you needed to know on how to find that accommodation and what to look out for while getting to the sites.
Self-published in the late 1990's, this book led
to other guides related to budget travel and women's travel. Voluminous and compendious, this book was entertaining and skillfully written using the experience of both authors.
The Boys Under the Bridge is an astonishing story of a woman living abroad who meets two little boys living under a bridge and the life lessons and unimaginable experiences they shared together. 
The book highlights the importance of accepting life as it is, and the profound impact of human connections. The story ultimately reminds readers that the smallest encounters can change the course of one's life forever.
