On a personal note...

If you're a member of our Facebook community and follow the Solo Travel Society page, you've likely noticed that something is amiss. On Monday, August 26th, our page was hacked and Janice and I were locked out of our own account. (In fact, we cannot even view the page.) We are working diligently through Facebook's lengthy and frustrating process to reclaim ownership. Finally, there is some progress: Facebook has locked the account so that the hacker can no longer create posts on the page. They've not given us a projected resolution date, but I am chomping at the bit to get back at it! In the meantime, please do not engage with the posts on the Solo Travel Society page, except to alert others of the situation. I will make a large and very visible announcement as soon as I get my hands back on it (as well as a huge thank you to those who have been letting others know what is happening!), and we will continue sharing tips, advice, and solo travel inspiration as we have been doing for the last 15 years. Thanks for your patience and see you back there soon!
