  • Buy this book & go to Vietnam!

    I can't say enough positive things about Alexa West's Solo Girls Travel Guides! I bought her Thailand book in 2018 for my first solo international trip and first time to Asia, and the trip got me hooked on exploring Asia. In 2023 I spent 1 month in Vietnam following Alexa's guide and absolutely fell in love with Vietnam! My boyfriend traveled with me to Vietnam and couldn't believe how many good suggestions were from Alexa's book. Whether you are traveling solo, with friends, or a significant other - buy Alexa's guides and you will have the best trip!

    Reading her books before traveling give you confidence and build the excitement, and then referencing her books daily to find hotels, restaurants, bars and activities will guaranteed show you the best of the best. I have used her Thailand, Thailand Islands & Beaches, Vietnam, & Japan books - all have been my bible when traveling and have helped make my trips incredible! Thank you Alexa!
