Tuck’s Travel Sleep Guide
It’s tough to sleep well when you’re traveling. You’re away from your bed, in a different part of the world, and traveling among strangers who may be crying, sneezing, or talking loudly. However, it is possible to sleep well while traveling. This comprehensive guide from Tuck explains how travel impacts your sleep, what causes jet lag,
and how you can get a good night’s sleep on your next trip.

When New Travel Fees Fly Under the Radar In the travel industry, new fees and restrictions tend to have one thing in common: they are introduced without fanfare and easily overlooked. Consumer advocate Christopher Elliott says travel companies apparently hope that you won’t notice them until you’re at the front desk or the final checkout screen. From
Airbnbs to resorts to campgrounds, it pays to read the fine print.

On public Wi-Fi, personal data is in the air for anyone to grab... unless you use a VPN.
The easy setup VPN app for your computer, phone and tablet:
- Protects you from online identity theft - what a way to ruin a trip.
- Let's you search the web in your own language when abroad.
- Gives you access to sites that are blocked in certain countries.
A VPN protects your identity online. It is especially important when using a credit card or banking online.

A New Project in the Works
Janice and I are in the early phase of developing a new project that we're excited about! Solo Traveler will continue, of course, but we have other interests as well. This project will be about grappling with and learning about issues we don't understand, on just about any topic. As with Solo Traveler, our goal will be to inform, inspire, and advocate, and community participation will be a
very important component. It will take a few months to get off the ground but if you would like to be notified of the launch you can sign up here. Of course, you'll be able to unsubscribe at any
time.
