Description

It seems everyone has an opinion on how you should live, especially when you're a woman. It's hard to tell the mentors from the meddlers, and strike a balance between living your life wisely and living someone else's for them. After planning to backpack around South America, Amy spends the next three months fending off well-meaning but absurd advice, which she ignores right up until she runs into trouble. Part memoir and part inspirational traveller's tale, Miss-adventures is a funny and frank account of a young woman exercising her independence. AUTHOR: Amy Baker is a freelance journalist, blogger, and copywriter based in London. She is an experienced travel writer and has written for The Huffington Post, STA Travel, Easyjet Traveller, and TNT Magazine. SELLING POINTS: The number of young women travelling solo is rising. There has been a 230 per cent increase in women-only travel companies over the past six years. Perfect for readers who enjoy liberating, frank and funny female voices such as Amy Poehler, Lena Dunham, Jenny Lawson and Caitlin Moran. 1 map
