Traveler's Tool Kit is a general all purpose guide to traveling abroad. This book is divided into four parts: Planning your Trip, Getting Ready, On the Road, and The Finish Line. Within these four sections, however, are twenty-four chapters. These chapters include all the usual topics such as How to Choose Where to Go; Money; Lodging; Eating and Drinking; Language; and Transportation. Furthermore, several unique chapters are explored in this book with titles such as Travel Gear; Keeping Healthy; Safety and Security; Etiquette; and How to Stay in Touch with Home Base.

Each of these chapters contains a variety of hints, tips, and entertaining but educational stories pertaining to each particular topic. Though many of the hints and tips are commonly quoted sage advice, many of the ideas provided in this book are novel, obviously hard won information collected through extensive travel abroad by the author. In this way, no matter how little or how much travel experience the reader has, he or she will find ample helpful tips and hints.

Traveler's Tool Kit focuses on international travel rather than domestic travel. Furthermore, the author attempts to illustrate how to be a traveler rather than a tourist. A traveler, as opposed to a tourist, is a person who travels through a country, city, or town trying to soak up the atmosphere and culture of the particular inhabitants. Basically, the traveler attempts to learn from and experience the real life of people from other cultures. A traveler, unlike a tourist, stays away from well-worn tracks, tourist tours, museums, and souvenir shops. Instead, he or she takes the road traveled by the villagers, eats at the restaurants they eat at, and bargains like a professional at the local market. Furthermore, the traveler is ever weary of the pick pocket and the scam artist. Thus, Traveler's Tool Kit contains a plethora of information for the want to be international traveler.
