Travel Alone & Love It A Flight Attendant's
Guide to Solo Travel by Sharon B. Wingler, Chicago Spectrum Press.
Here's an excerpt:
"I welcome the air of mystery that surrounds a woman dining alone. Not that I cause a stir you needn't
worry about jaws slacking and conversation coming to a standstill as you enter the room alone. It's just that there
seems to be a natural curiosity of a friendly sort that does not make me the least bit uncomfortable.
Waiters see my journal and often ask if I'm a writer. In some countries, if you seem receptive, people at nearby
tables may initiate conversation. In others, such as England, France, and most northern European countries, privacy
is sacred and yours will not be intruded upon you will have to make the first move."

Love It
