"Ideal for solo travelers," says the press release from Western River Expeditions about its rafting trips on the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon, Utah. I vouch for that statement. I had one of the best trips of my life floating on peaceful sections of the river and holding on for dear life through Class III…

Ever been to the U.S. Virgin Islands? Wanted to go but didn't want to go alone because going alone is scary? Well, my friend Diane, another travel writer, passed along this testimonial from a 50-year-old male guest at Maho Bay Camps, an eco-resort on St. John. "I went to Maho Bay alone in November," he…

First, in a continuation of travel deals from my last post, there are two cruise lines that are waiving the single supplements on certain voyages. Avalon Waterways has some European river cruises available with…

Backroads, an "active travel company," is ending its singles and solos trips next year. The owners found that more of their solo travelers ended up on regular trips than on solo ones. There weren't getting enough people to make the singles and solo trips fun. After doing some of Backroads solo trips years back, I…

In Monday's post I asked you to name which item did not belong in Hershey, PA. Now for a rundown of what Hershey has, and the one thing I put on the list that it doesn't. And, finally, whether this is a place for solo travelers. Hershey has a large amusement park, as well as…

When you think of Hershey, Pennsylvania, what comes to mind? Really, I want to know. I've just returned from a weekend there and having been there at least twice before, I now think of it with a new twist. But everyone seems to have their own impressions. What do you think? Is it land of…

A Brazil cultural and multisport tour. A Napa Valley long weekend wine tour. A Montana camping trip. Skiing in Chile in July. These are some of the vacations offered by Singles Travel. I can't vouch for this particular tour operator. But I'm impressed with the variety of adventure trips they offer all over the world.…

Utah has some of the best national parks in the country. And I mean, spectacular. When I saw this article, it struck me all over again how cool a place the Beehive state is for fantastic scenery and action adventure. I have visited four out of the five top parks (at least as designated by…

Riding horses across the Masai Mara, a large reserve park in Southwestern Kenya, is something I’d love to do. Paying $5,675 plus $875 for the single supplement is something I really don’t want to do. And won’t. In this case, even if I were spared the single supplement, I wouldn’t shell out close to $6,000…

I may be sooo 20th century, but sometimes I prefer to pick up a magazine instead of heading for the Internet for trip ideas. I’m looking, as we speak, at a section I ripped out of my National Geographic Adventure from November 2007. It’s called Best Outfitters on Earth. When you don’t exactly know where…
