Sleep Somewhere Strange Without the Panic

First Class Fool: One Bed, No Witnesses is a comic, practical guide for nervous solo travellers who want accommodation to feel manageable rather than intimidating.

It is written for ordinary adults who would rather have a door that locks, a bathroom that works and a breakfast room that does not feel like a tribunal.

Inside, readers will learn how to:

choose the right type of accommodation for the trip they are actually taking

decode misleading listings, reviews and wide-angle photography

arrive, check in and inspect a room without spiralling

handle shared bathrooms, dorms, noise and awkward breakfast rooms

stay safe, organised and calm when the room is bad, weird or actively plotting against you

From hotels and guesthouses to hostels, apartments and budget chains, this book helps solo travellers ask the questions that matter before they book and keep their nerve when plans change.

Warm, witty and grounded in the realities of solo travel, it is a confidence-building companion for readers who want to sleep somewhere unfamiliar without feeling abandoned by common sense.
