This practical guide teaches travelers - novice or seasoned - how to find the best vacation deals by avoiding the typical tourist mentality. Author Tim Leffel shows readers how to bypass the traps that drive up expenses and find the best value, whether as a young backpacker or a wealthy retiree. Drawing on his own extensive experience (including three yearlong trips around the globe as well as his experience as an industry insider), he also covers what steps to take and what resources to use to save money on every trip. Through specific strategies and a change in mindset, he shows everyone how to travel better--or more often--on a smaller budget. Read the full press release.

This is no monologue, however. The following travel experts all contribute more tried and true advice on getting away from the herds and hordes:
