About this audiobook
Book Four of the Scam-Proof Guardian Series.
Sam and Patricia took twenty-two international cruises together before her illness. Those adventures taught him how predators target travelers — especially seniors traveling alone, widowed travelers heading out to heal, and adult children worried about parents on the road.
The Travel Guardian's Shield is the complete senior travel safety system, built from real scams encountered in airports, cruise terminals, hotels, restaurants, and on streets across four continents.
Inside: the five-layer verification system, Phantom Booking detection, hotel and cabin security, restaurant and attraction scams, transportation safety, pickpocket prevention, emergency response and document recovery, and a field guide to global scam hotspots from Bangkok to Barcelona.
Whether you travel solo, with a partner, or worry about a loved one who does — this book keeps Guardians safe on the road.
