"... an outstandingly practical handbook." Booklist, American Library Association

"... exceedingly complete, right down to the nitty gritty of staying healthy and avoiding the threat of crime." Don James, Los Angeles Times

Jean Critchen, Publishers Weekly

Dedication, from the first edition, 1982:
In memory of Annette Kampinga of Haarlem, The Netherlands. Annette was my secretary and companion, and became a stewardess to roam the world. It was her invitation that led me to return to Europe, and her encouragement that got me to write this book. Annette, 25, was murdered in a terrorist bomb blast at the Norfolk Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya on New Years Eve of 1981.
Annette Kampinga holding the author.
In the lap of Annette, probably 1978.
