Traveling Solo: Advice and Ideas for More Than 250 Great Vacations
by Eleanor Berman

Traveling Solo is the ultimate guide to traveling alone. This book offers advice and ideas for more than 250 trips for solo travelers. Award-winning author Eleanor Berman points out the following unique pleasures to traveling solo: it's a chance to tailor a vacation strictly to individual tastes, energies, and timetables; to go wherever you please, do exactly whatever you want to do, and meet interesting new people of all ages along the way.

The vacations offered here are as varied as the ages, budgets, tastes, and interests of millions of singles. This book provides all the pertinent information on a wide range of vacation options, including the following:

  • Approximate costs
  • Common age ranges of participants
  • Percentage of people traveling alone
  • Typical male/female ratio
  • Candid comments from former trip participants
This guide helps a solo traveler choose a trip that's right for him or her. Some of the trips the author discusses are: European trips for music lovers, wine connoisseurs, and gourmet cooks; workshops in language, photography, and painting; a biking tour of Provence; a cruise in the fjords of Norway; wilderness expeditions in Alaska and Nepal; and luxurious spas in the deserts of Arizona and the tropics of Mexico.

In addition to specific vacation ideas, the author gives advice about how to travel safely and intelligently while alone, or as part of a group, or as a single parent with kids.

The author also includes her favorite cities for traveling alone, giving descriptions and personal impressions of what it is like to be a solo vacationer in a major city.
