Does anyone know of zines or websites for women  traveling alone or seeking another to share expenses? Read some of the books but most of them are traveling for long periods of time outside of the US making it seem more of an excape rather than a vacation or what I would call a short adventure.

Any great travel book suggestions?

Also check out Meetup.com you might find some great women who want to go:

Let me knwo if this helps. I can probably scrounge up some more if you need them through my travel magazines but also, hit the libraries. They keep travel mags in hand and there are lots of little articles by women authors that talk about traveling as a small group of women.
