Guide Review - Travel Therapy by Karen Schaler: Where do you need to go?
What's bothering you? Travel Therapy by Karen Schaler includes wayfaring remedies for all sorts of troubles, minor and major. Sample chapters include "Heartbreak Hotel", for stinging breakups, "Doctor's Orders" for recovery vacations, and "Lost and Found" for healing heartbreak after the loss of a loved one. Quizzes at the beginning of each section helps you in your travel therapy selection.
Several Central America travel spots are represented in Travel Therapy. Going through a tough breakup? Go cave-tubing in Belize. Feel like something's missing in your life? Pay it forward by volunteering with Ambassadors for Children in the La Esquintla region of Guatemala, or by taking a Belizean volunteer vacation with GoAbroad.com.
Other destinations span the globe, from Fiji's Turtle Island to Yellowstone National Park in the US, Monaco's romantic Monte Carlo to the British Virgin Islands.
As Karen Schaler says, "Take two vacations, then call me in the morning." We can't argue with that.
