Hi Solo Traveler, Here's What's New for March

Published: Sun, 03/21/21

Hi there,

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

Last week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Shivya Nath about Sustainable Travel for the March edition of the Insiders Speaker Series. In our annual survey, you told us that this would be very important for you when travel returns. We chatted about the meaning of responsible travel and Shivya told us about some new initiatives around the world and shared tips for how we can identify and avoid greenwashing and travel more sustainably going forward.

All our speaker events are recorded so that whenever you join the Solo Traveler Insiders you will be able to watch all previous sessions. Coming up in March: Senior Solo Travel. This will be a meet-up style event where attendees can ask questions and share their own expertise with the group. For more information on upcoming events and membership benefits, click here.

On April 11th 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. This may be a good time to consider taking advantage of pricing that will undoubtedly increase once travel opens up again.

Thanks for reading and sharing.

Take good care,
Tracey

With all the handwashing and sanitizing we've been doing for the last year,

your hands may be in rough shape. Imagine how many surfaces you're going to touch in the course of a trip! I've tried many different types of

sanitizers, all of which dried out my skin. Then, along came this plant-based

2-in-1 moisturizing hand sanitizer from Babington Soap Co. It's nothing

like any other product I've tried. I didn't even think it was possible for my

hands to be germ-free and soft. You can read all about what makes it

unique on their website, but the bottom line is:

this stuff is great!
