Luckily, you have someone on the inside who can tell you the 55 most important things you need to know before you go. With five years of experience being an American in Italy, I can tell you exactly how to avoid mistakes, embarrassment, and misunderstandings, as well as correct some of the misconceptions we have about Italy based on our television shows and movies. You don't have to make any "foreigner faux pas" because I've already made them all for you! How to Be an American in Italy is a friendly, authoritative guide written by an American for other Americans who are visiting or moving to Italy. It will help you fit into your new Italian life without losing your American spirit, and it will give you the confidence to live that new life to the fullest. Featuring a new cover beginning November 2021!
The 8 Best India Travel Guide Books - TRIPSAVVY - 12/09/19"This book takes a culturally minded look at women's safety in the country to inform women both before they leave and while they're in-country about how they can travel safely throughout the country. Written by J.D. Viharini, the book informs women on how to minimize the risk of problems while they're exploring the country by addressing and explaining cultural factors and mindsets. Chapters address how foreign women are shown in the media (promiscuously), standards of dress in India, the types of places that are and aren't safe for women to stay in, and what to do if you are sexually assaulted. Although, of course, the burden shouldn't be on women to avoid violence-it's a larger cultural issue-it's hard to change that in a single trip, and this guide does a great job of helping women navigate the country safely in the meantime. "- KRYSTIN ARNESON Updated 12/09/19 Krystin Arneson is a writer and editor based out of Berlin, Germany. She covers an array of hotels, products and destinations for TripSavvy.Lifeline to getting the most from solo, female travel"I met J.D. Viharini in Nepal recently and listened, first-hand, to accounts of her Indian travels. She is authentic, wise, experienced, expert in the advice she offers. Having travelled to 56 countries, read countless travel books and spoken to people all over the world, I was amazed at the tips I learned in reading this book. In addition, she speaks from a deeply embodied understanding of India, suggesting a nuanced approach to cultural competency, adopting an 'impression management' style of travel which offers an alternative approach to compromising one's own cultural values and identity. Fears are addressed and alleviated. Yet, this book is so simple, practical, easy and wide-ranging in application. Just excellent!"- Jo-Ann Zyla (reviewed on amazon.ca)

Waldfeucht, der Ort dem sich die Nr. 106 des Rheinischen Städteatlas widmet, wurde erstmals 1240 erwähnt und in Folge der weiteren Entwicklung 1350 als Stadt bezeichnet. Außer den beiden Toren aus Mauerwerk war Waldfeucht von wassergefüllten Gräben sowie von heckenbestandenen Wällen umgeben. Ab 1499 gehörte der Ort zum Herzogtum Jülich. 1816 wurde die Mairie Waldfeucht Bürgermeisterei und 1935 kam es zur Bildung des Amts Waldfeucht mit den Orten Braunsrath, Haaren und Saeffelen. 1972 gründete man die neue Gemeinde Waldfeucht. Nach Waldfeucht führte eine Wallfahrt zum hl. Rochus. Auf diese Weise entwickelte sich der Ort zu einem religiösen und administrativen Mittelpunkt, der zur Ansiedlung von Handwerkern führte. Bereits 1277 sind ein Markt und Handwerker erwähnt. Bis ins 19. Jh. hinein wurde in Waldfeucht auch die Leinen- und Samtweberei betrieben. Bedingt durch den fehlenden Eisenbahnanschluss konnte die Industrialisierung kaum Fuß greifen. Als größere Firma siedelte sich 1970 nur eine Eiskremfabrik an, die sich zum größten Arbeitgeber entwickelte.
