** THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED ***
I recently came across some interesting books, both by Susanna Zaraysky, that stirred my imagination (and wanderlust) and made me want to share them with you!
Synopsis: Learning foreign languages is like learning to play music or sing a song. You don’t even have to be a good musician. Benefits of this program:
With more than 70 free and low cost tips and 90 plus Internet resources, you will learn to speak a language without spending a ton of money on plane tickets, tutors and intensive language programs. You don’t have to leave the country or even leave your home! You will learn faster than from the traditional “memorize and regurgitate” lessons used in schools and universities, as the language becomes part of your daily life.
Synopsis: Travel Happy, Budget Low informs you how to travel
economically in planes, trains, and buses, how to find inexpensive
meals, and how to book inexpensive hotel rooms or stay for free with
locals.
About the Author:
Susanna Zaraysky grew
up in California in a low-income Soviet immigrant family with inadequate
English language skills. She went on to study 10 languages, live in nine
countries and travel to over 50. Susanna is passionate about sharing her
experience and belief that no matter one’s economic status or past language
learning experience, anyone can be multilingual and see the world.

Travel Happy, Budget Low
Synopsis: Travel Happy, Budget Low informs you how to travel

meals, and how to book inexpensive hotel rooms or stay for free with
locals.
This book does a lot of
the work for you. Budget travel does not mean you will
spend weeks on rickety old buses with no ventilation, or spend the night
in run-down hostels. You don’t have to sleep in bus stations. You will realize that you too can see Paris, The
Great Wall of China, the Vienna Opera, and other great sites without
breaking the bank, and WITH your kids!.
