Deals for the readers of Solo Traveler
Every month we'll send you deals that we think
have value for solo travelers. Our goal is to share travel deals that don't have a single supplement but sometimes there is a low single supplement. Our threshold is 15%. We also include products that are relevant for solo travel. If you have a deal you'd like included, please contact Simon Constam. Gmail may cut this list short. If you don't see all 25 offers look for a link at the bottom to click and see more.
LOCTOTE enables you to Live More and Worry
Less
Our story is simple. My stuff got stolen while traveling, so I wanted a theft-proof travel bag. No good ones existed, so I invented one and launched it on Kickstarter. It went viral. I got cancer. We got a deal on ABC’s Shark Tank. I beat cancer. Our bags became the gold standard in
anti-theft travel bags. Bad people knocked us off, cut corners, and produced inferior junk. They failed. We grew because we never skimp on anything. Our bags may be overkill, but when you’re alone in the world, failure is not an option. LOCTOTE enables you to live more and worry less.
Don Halpern – Founder & CEO – Loctote Industrial Bag
Co - Locks Shut- prevents items from being stolen from the bag (solid brass lock included)
- Locks to Any Fixed Object- prevents the bag from being stolen (steel-reinforced lock strap)
- Slash Resistant Fabric- prevents slash-and-grab theft (Along with Honeywell and Tuff-N-Lite, we developed a textile that is literally off the charts for every cut-resistance measure – exceeds ANSI
A9)
- Slash Resistant Ropes- prevents cut-and-run theft (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene core)
- Shields Against RFID Scanning- prevents unauthorized card scanning (certified RFID-blocking interior pocket
lining)
Experience the life and soul of our global destinations with our English-speaking guides without worrying about any of the safety issues connected to travelling alone. Your bank balance will like it too, because we’ll match you up
with a like-minded roommate, so you don’t have to pay a single supplement. And the real beauty of this deal is that if we don’t match you with a roommate, we’ll pay your single supplement! It’s a win-win!
