Read by Alexa West

In 2011, Alexa West sat on her bedroom floor, packed her life into a backpack, and got on a one-way flight with just $200 in her pocket. She turned that $200 into over ten years of full-time travel. She went from budget backpacker to solo female travel expert - and now teaches thousands of women how to travel alone and make money from anywhere. The One-Way Ticket Plan reveals her decade's worth of lessons, regrets, embarrassments, love stories, shortcuts, and problem-solving strategies - all packed into a hilarious page-turner and actionable plan for a total life makeover. From real-world advice on how travel can lower your cost of living to guidance on traveling safely, using strange toilets, avoiding tourist traps, dealing with unfamiliar foods, and coping with friendships, romance, and loneliness, Alexa provides the tools and inspiration to turn even the most inexperienced traveler into an expert explorer before ever leaving the couch. Alexa West, founder and CEO of The Solo Girl's Travel Guide, is a bestselling travel author and hotel reviewer. Alexa splits her time between Seattle, Mexico, and Southeast Asia, where she spends her days doing what she loves most: writing, exploring, and playing pickleball. No matter where she goes, Alexa is on a mission to change the way women travel the world: with less fear and more fun.
