Travel Wise―How to Be Safe, Savvy and Secure Abroad

International travel in a post-9/11 world is discussed by Leki, who has spent more than 20 years training diplomats and their families for life abroad. This experience has led the author to write a practical guide about security that stretches beyond the particulars of a given country, and addresses larger issues such as each traveler's threshold for risk-taking. Designed for anyone concerned with international travel, this book also provides a series of rehearsed skills that will help even seasoned travelers face a variety of unexpected situations.
