Zion and Bryce Canyon, a Independent Travel Trip


In this episode: The FAQ is: What is Independent Travel? The Destinations are Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, Utah. The mistake is booking round trip tickets automatically, and the travel tip is a quote from a known independent traveler.

What is independent travel? There are three kinds of independent travel. First, Independent (not with a tour guide), Second, semi-independent (on a cruise or excursion) and Third is solo. The last one is truly on your own, just you on the road. This podcast and book is focused on any of these three options for independent travel.

Get power over your life and build your confidence with your travel.

Destinations: Zion and Bryce Canyons, Utah, USA A special Independent trip-independent of a tour or guide









Today’s Mistake-Booking round trip without thinking it through
Instead of booking round trip, book two one-way tickets. My mistake was I went to Barcelona and once I got there, then I flew to Madrid. I should have booked my trip home from Madrid, instead of going back to Barcelona and then back to the US. So I wasted some time, nearly a day in transit and in time booking the trip back plus accomodations and airport travel. If you buy two round trip tickets, they may even be cheaper than a round trip ticket. Try it on your next international trip.

Today’s Travel Advice- Here’s a quote from Anthony Bourdain, who wrote on travel.

It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that’s enlightenment enough – to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go. (Anthony Bourdain, travel expert)


I want to bring meaning to your travel. Send me your travel tip or question to my Facebook page, group, Instagram, Twitter, or blog, and maybe you’ll see your tips in my next travel book on independent destinations.

RIP Dean Alphonso Buell

Celebrating the life of Dean Alphonso Buell in April, 2012 with his mom and two friends. Dr. Travelbest is priviledged to know Raquel Giraldez, mother of the deceased, as she was the designer and illustrator and most travelled friend of Dr. Travelbest in 1993 as the book was being written and published. Dean was involved with the editorial, even though he was a youngster at the time. Thanks, Dean, for sharing your mom so that Dr. Travelbest could teach others about Independent Travel. Speaking of travel, this is the view from the front yard of Raquel's home in Buellton, CA. The mountains in the distant background are picture postcard on this memorable day, right near the 101. (Photos: top: view from Raquels, bottom: center, Raquel and right, Rosanna Figuerola (sp?) at the Celebration of Dean's 24 years on the earth.) There were so many stars that night, we knew that Dean was watching us from above with his new friends.
