Great (though some are better than others)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a fun beach book. Lots of stories. Lots of women travel stories. Some are good. Some are great. Some are superb.
Hilarious

This makes Jack Kerouac seem like a pretentious adolescent. Totally down-to-earth and gut-bustingly funny. I'm a guy, I've done my share of travelling, and chicks on the road is the ultimate amusement. Go Jen Leo! Bring more!
Not that funny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
There was only 1 story that actually got me to chuckle. The rest just didn't strike my funny bone but they were interesting to read about. If you like reading travel adventures...this is a good book to pick up. Funny women....not even close.
More hilarity from the road
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
For anyone who has had a trip go not exactly as planned, this book will make you laugh--and be glad that your mishaps weren't (relatively) that bad. I loved the story of evading the druglord/mafia in Turkey, and the painful panties problem in Paraguay. It's great to hear these fresh female voices and to hear about their adventures and misadventures. This book is for people who like funny, for people who like travel, who people who like funny travel. A great gift for you girlfriend, sister, mother, and any woman about to go traveling--or in the withdrawal phase of just coming back from a trip.
Nothing Lost in Translation

If you want to read about the travel misadventures of several very talented writers, I would highly recommend this book. They are presented in very short vignettes each unrelated to the other but share the common travel theme of misadventure. If you have ever traveled, the strangest things seem to happen spontaneously and this book is full of these types of anecdotes. You can be in Germany getting a Turkish bath (hamam) from Hassan, daydreaming about using him as your personal slave back home, or find your way to a house in Istanbul where a stranger allows you to stay with your Australian traveling companion until you find out that it is occupied by members of the Turkish mafia who won't let you escape. Other stories vary from getting waxed in New York to answering natures call in Yukatan at a public restroom where you had to squat on the rim of the toilet to preserve personal sanitation. You also had to board the bus that was leaving within three minutes. There are a total of 31 stories that kept me captivated and often laughing aloud.
