Book Offers Spicy Travel Tips for Single Women

NEW YORK, March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- With millions of women about to embark on a spring break trip, and millions of other single women planning weekend get-aways or a summer vacation, one well-traveled woman has some empowering advice for them.

Flavia, an Australian dermatologist, has traveled the world, including trips to Milan, Mykonos, Monaco, Maldives, Maui and Melbourne.  And that's just the M's!  The former catwalk model, and recently featured in Allure Magazine, has penned a provocative, new book that highlights her adventures in 17 exciting cities. She shares her most exciting stories, sprinkled with beautiful photos and food/drink recipes.  Released this month, Flavia's Global Adventures Sex, Food, Travel (www.sexfoodtravel.com) reveals the following:

• How a single woman can live adventurously and safely on the road.
• Why women should balance work and responsibilities with travel.
• How to have the confidence to meet up with the locals for a social night out.
• What our travel experiences tell us about ourselves.
• Why women don't need permission to explore freely and travel alone.
• How travel is connected to romance, food and fashion.

Her book also shares humorous, at times self-deprecating, stories of travel and romance gone awry.  She also offers savvy tips for the business traveler and how to look good after a long flight.  Flavia also advises on how one can conquer a city's cuisine, culture, and men in any city – with a minimum stay of 4 days.

The vibrant, single, city girl is Flavia's lifestyle and she encourages other women to embrace it as well.  "We live in an overworked, stressed-out shell but it's time to have fun," says Flavia.  "Women can live beyond a life of norms, routines, and expectations."

Flavia concludes:  "Passion is the force that drives us.  We all seek pleasure and excitement in our lives.  To travel to amazing destinations, explore other cities and cultures expands our horizon and perspective on life.  To taste delicious food and culinary delights in exotic locations is a journey in itself. Traveling takes you out of your comfort zone and routine, and opens a whole world of possibilities.  That is the essence of adventure and excitement. We feel a sense of freedom as we leave the stresses of our lives behind.  To capture the purity of an experience requires us to be in the moment."
