TIP OF THE MONTH
Travel with the Wit of an Adult
and the Wonder of a Child
It takes knowledge, good planning, and an understanding of the world to travel. It requires the wit of an adult. But enjoying travel to its fullest requires the wonder of a child as well. Hence, the Wit & Wonder Travel Course from Solo
Traveler.
In seven emails, we’ll help you with the practical aspects of travel. We’ll help you develop travel skills, build travel confidence, and cultivate money strategies so that you can travel more. We’ll also point you to your youth. We’ll help you rediscover the wonder you had as a child so that it may resurface and infuse your travels with new richness and
fun.
As a bonus, everyone who pre-orders the course before January 15, 2019 will receive a free digital copy of The Solo Traveler's Handbook. What are you waiting for? Click here to find out more and

Congratulations to
Pravassa
winners of the 2018 Solo Travel Award for
Specialty Tours
Pravassa provides a more meaningful way to travel. As the pioneer of wellness travel, their programs are vetted, curated, exceptionally
crafted travel experiences. Pravassa knows that wellness travel can be a deeply personal experience. Therefore when the company was founded 9-years ago they made a conscious decision not to sell "Single Rooms" or add a "Single Supplement" fee to their offerings. Instead, they offer Private Rooms, a space to return to at the end of each day in order to sit with yourself and your thoughts. They are hyper connected in today's world and having alone time is a self-care
restorative practice. They set aside 70% of the rooms on group tours as private and they are always the first to sell out.
The Solo Travel Awards was sponsored by World Nomads, a fast-growing online travel company that provides inspiration, advice, safety tips and specialized travel insurance for
independent, volunteer and student travelers traveling and studying most anywhere in the world.
