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

Published: Sun, 05/16/21

Hi there,

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

We had a great time at our meet-up on the topic of Senior Solo Travel. Members of the Solo Traveler Insiders shared their experiences in various destinations and with different tours and cruises. Coming up on Wednesday, our guest for the next edition of the Insiders Speaker Series will be Elena Paschinger, author of The Creative Traveler's Handbook. From wood carving to cooking to dancing the tango, and so much more, Elena will talk to us about Adding Creativity to Our Solo Travels.

For more information on upcoming events and membership benefits, click here.

On June 13th 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 is a good time to lock in prices that will undoubtedly increase as travel opens up again.

Do you know someone who would enjoy receiving our newsletters? Please forward this email to them.

Take good care,
Tracey

you're going to want this in your bag!

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 so many

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. You can read all about what makes it

unique on their website, but the bottom line is: this stuff is great!
