Hi there,

Here's your round up of posts from Solo Traveler for January!

Last week, we hosted our first 2021 event in our Solo Traveler Insiders Speaker Series. Elizabeth Verwey shared stories and tips from her grand solo adventure, traveling to 8 countries over 9 weeks for CAN$10,000. Next month, we'll hear from Catherine Driver about her life-altering solo walk on El Camino de Santiago, with tips and advice to help you plan your own journey. For more information on future events, our library of recordings, and the benefits of our membership program, just click here.

On February 14th you'll receive our monthly list of deals from companies that serve solo travelers well. Browse through their offerings in both the Advisory and on the Solo Traveler Deals page as you plan future trips.

Thanks for reading and sharing.

Take good care,
Tracey

Top Solo Travel Posts of 2020 and All Time

To start the new year, I have compiled the top solo travel posts of 2020 and the most popular solo travel posts of all time on Solo Traveler.

Game Changer!

With all the handwashing and sanitizing we've been doing for the better part of a year, my hands are in rough shape. I've tried many different types of sanitizers, all of which dried out my skin and had me moisturizing like a fiend. Then, along came this plant-based moisturizing hand sanitizer from Babington Soap Co. It is nothing like any other product I've tried. You can read all about what makes it unique on their website, but I will tell you this: My search is over. My hands are soft AND 99.9% germ free. I've already ordered more and the travel sized bottle will be in my bag when we can travel again.

For lucky US residents, shipping is free. Get all the details and order info here:

Babington Soap Co.

*We have no relationship with this company other than the fact that Tracey tried a free sample. We just like to let you know when we find something we love and use ourselves.
