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.
