Is it
walking the beaches in exotic locations like Bora Bora, Antigua, or Barbados? Enjoying an authentic culinary experience in
Italy? Or a Broadway play in New York?
Or are you an adventurer who has always wanted to go on a safari? Explore castles along the Rhine River? Discover Australia and its Great Barrier
Reef?
What is
holding you back? Could it be that you
don’t have anyone to travel with? Perhaps your husband doesn’t like to travel,
or you’re single, divorced or widowed, and feel apprehensive about striking out
on your own, or would just prefer it if someone else did the planning and
handled the travel arrangements.
There are
many travel groups that are designed for those of us traveling solo.
One that
caught my eye recently is a group that works with an international river cruise
line, which offers a unique river cruise vacation experience that take
passengers to a plethora of destinations unreachable by large cruise ships.
Explore Europe, Asia, Egypt or Russia from their luxury vessels. And the best news is that this travel group
has been able to get the “single”
supplement waived, saving up to $1,500 for each participant. This affords each traveler the comfort of not
having to share accommodations in order to get a reduced rate.
Another women’s travel group only
charges a “single” supplement based
on the cost difference of sharing a room versus paying for your own room. Another money-saving feature with this group
is that they offer a “bring a friend with you” discount ($100 off tours of 7
nights or longer or $50 off for a 3-6 night trip). And, if you book another tour with them,
you’ll receive $100 off a trip of 7 days or longer.
Lastly, I
came across a group that offers urban adventures. These are options
for people who want to get off the beaten path and really connect with
destinations on a local level...but only have a day to do so. So let’s
say you’re on a business trip, and you have some time to kill. This group can be contacted to set up day
tours with a local team. In 80 cities, all
over the world, the tours take you behind the scenes of a destination to reveal
its hidden gems.
Fulfill your travel dream, while making
lasting friendships with other like-minded women.
