A breathtaking celebration of Instagram's premier solo female travel community, featuring 200 striking photographs—most of them all-new—plus empowering messages and practical tips for solo travelers. “For those with passports full of stories, this book carries you away to every dreamy corner of the earth. I can’t stop flipping through these visually incandescent pages to see where I’m capable of traveling to next!”—Caila Quinn, The Bachelor contestant and lifestyle and travel influencer From backpackers in Peru to artists in Berlin to storytellers in Morocco, Dame Traveler celebrates the diversity and bravery of women from around the world who are not afraid to think (and live) outside the box. The revolutionary Dame Traveler Instagram account was founded by Nastasia Yakoub, who was born into a strict Chaldean-Middle Eastern community where women are expected to marry young and put aside other personal ambitions. But at the age of twenty, Nastasia embarked on a solo trip to South Africa to volunteer at an orphanage in Cape Town, which sparked a love of world travel. Recognizing a void in the travel industry, she founded Dame Traveler, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia herself has traveled to sixty-three countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way. Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80% of which have never been seen on the Instagram account. Organized into sections on architecture, culture, nature, and water, each entry features travel information, plus tips, advice, unique solo-travel experiences, and wisdom from contributing globe-trotters to embolden the next generation of Dame Travelers.

"Patagonia, Los Glaciares National Park, Perito Moreno Glacier, El Calafate" is my 6th travel guide in the "wilderness explorer" series (first was about "Peninsula Valdes" Natural Reserve, second - "Torres del Paine" National Park, third - "Tierra del Fuego" National Park, fourth - Iceland, fifth - "Landmannalaugar", Iceland), which I decided to write after I made 1x expedition to Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) and 4x expeditions to Iceland in 2015 - 2018 years. The book contains 60 GPS coordinates of important to know places, 60 website links, covering all the important campsites, hostels, hotels, viewpoints, 20 hiking trails, key sightseeing, it has 2 detailed maps, and 20 photographs I made in March-April 2017. The travel guide first describes how to get in/out the "Los Glaciares" National Park and El Calafate, all park's updated rules and prices, then I in very detail describe 20 different hikes in the park and around, including: official "Perito Moreno" Glacier hikes; ice walking hikes; Lago Roca and Cerro Cristal hikes; Estancias "La Usina", "Nibepo Aike", "Hosteria Alta Vista"and "Rio Mitre" hikes; very remote Estancia "Cristina" hikes to the 170 million years old "Fossil Canyon" and the "Upsala" Glacier view points; "Reserva Laguna Nimez" hikes - a famous bird reserve (>80 birds); "Walichu" Caves hike, where you can see ancient paleolithic ( 4,000 years) paintings in sandstone rock survived till modern time. I also give all the details for wild and paid camping, hostels, food stores, roads conditions, travel scenarios, public buses, flights, prices for touristic services, paid boat tours to see glaciers, kayaking, horseback riding, countryside Patagonian lunch/dinner with grilled for 6 hours Cordero (lamb) or Asado (beef), fishing, farming recreational activities, ice walking, paleontological and archeological sites, famous "Glaciarium Patagonian Ice" Museum, city shopping, dining, commuting... etc. The book can be equally useful for "budget" adventure seekers, solo/group travelers, "fast & easy" with a rented car/campers or travel agency users as well as for paid wildlife and travel/landscape photographers on a mission.
