Cheap
airfare and frequent flyer miles are just the beginning.
Escape
Plan's airfare tricks and tactics are worth the purchase price alone. Luckily
for you there's much, much more...
Figure
out your possibilities. If you don't know what's possible for you, all
your dreams of travel are likely to remain just that; dreams.
There's
so much to do and see that most people deciding to travel don't realize the potential
in front of them, or are overwhelmed by it. Escape Plan can help you
with finding a job overseas or quitting one you already have and taking off. It
will let you know which countries you can afford to go to, for how long, and
what quality of life you can expect there. Don't set limits, discover them.
The
nuts and bolts of World Travel. Cut through the million and one minor
irritations that are part and parcel of travel. Escape Plan explains
what really matters: what to pack and how much, cell phone plans, insurance
coverage, visas and residency, what vaccinations you'll need, and anything else
you have to know. The rest you can forget about.
How
to cope when things go wrong. Don't let fear of the unknown stop you from
getting on a plane. Escape Plan busts myths about some so-called
'dangerous' countries, shows you how to avoid getting robbed or taken advantage
of, and lets you know what to do if it happens anyway.
Bugs
in the system. Take advantage of loopholes in airline booking websites to
add an extra leg to your journey for free, or learn how google translate will
change how you search for flights forever.
Around
the world in 80 days. Or more, if you like. Round the world fares are
perfect for the traveler who wants to cram in as much variety as possible for
the cheapest fare. Escape Plan breaks down when to use them and who offers the
best deal.
Frequent
flyer miles, without the flying. Learn how you can stack up frequent flyer
miles without getting off the couch. Then convert those miles into free
airfare.
Location,
location, location. The accommodation you choose is likely to have the
single biggest effect you have on the experience of your trip.
Whether
you want a nice hostel, to get an apartment near where locals live, or if
you're trying to find a luxury hotel, your experience in a country is going to
differ dramatically. Escape Plan will show you how to find the best place no
matter what you choose.
How
to find local friends anywhere you go. As you've probably heard or
experienced before, despite all the amazing monuments, hair-raising adventures,
and eye-opening experiences, the people you meet are usually the most memorable
and life-changing part of travel. Escape Plan teaches you how to make
friends the world over.
Don't
let it get you down. People don't talk about this much but travel can be
tough. The stress of being away from your home, friends and family, combined
with the challenges of new cultures, a foreign language and a lack of routine
means a little loneliness is inevitable.
