The Times Holiday Handbook is the paperback version of Google – seriously, I am not saying this because, the author Cath Urquhart was kind enough to send me a copy. I took the book on holiday with me and it features so much information, it’s my bible, and it’ll go everywhere with me – literally.

The book has over 430 pages, and is split up into 11 chapters which are full of trip planning advice. Read up on how and what to pack, on visa and passport information or tips on travelling with children, on your own or as a female and solo traveller.

I enjoyed reading Cath’s travel experiences which span over 20 years; the holiday handbook caters for every type of traveller; backpacker, solo traveller, families, couples, and every type of holiday; package holidays, DIY, villa holidays. Etc.

I’m still finding bits of sand in between the pages, but it’ll be a book that I’ll use before I travel and whilst on holiday as it features important telephone numbers and websites, i.e. travel associations and travel consumer bodies.

Buy the Book via Travel Rants for only £10 including postage & packing!
