Best Kept Secrets for Travelers With Sight Loss

Travel with confidence — on your own, with a guide dog, and with friends and family!

This digital image of Best Kept Secrets for Travelers With Sight Loss shows the book standing on a slight angle on a wooden railing against a soft green background. The front cover and pages are visible. The book cover is mainly black and white. In the foreground is a female traveler shown in side view. She is striding purposefully, holding her white cane in front of her in her gloved right hand. The bottom quarter of the cane is bright red. The traveler is dressed in practical, yet attractive clothing: a peacoat of above-the-knee length, a small backpack, and sturdy shoes. The title of the book appears in the upper right part of the cover, with the author’s name and credentials at the bottom. The cover background shows the Eiffel tower, a few roughly sketched trees, and three silhouetted figures.

Best Kept Secrets for Travelers With Sight Loss lets people who are blind or have low vision enjoy travel with less fear and uncertainty.

It is packed with practical tips to make every trip fun and safe.

Available in paperback (2 versions), e-book, and audiobook (2 versions).
