Hi, Solo Traveler! Here's what's new and coming up next.

How is it September already?

Here's your round up of posts from Solo Traveler for this month.

Our September edition of the Insiders Speaker Series was so much fun! Natalie Wester regaled us with stories from her first solo trip at the age of 59: 70 days around the world on $50/day. She had lots of great advice and encouragement for anyone contemplating solo travel. Then, at the end of the evening, we gave away a one-year Lonely Planet membership to one lucky attendee.

Coming up on September 29th, the theme of our monthly meet-up will be Food I Have Loved (or Hated). We'll share stories of the interesting, the delicious, the not-so-delicious, and unusual food and drink experiences we have had while traveling. Grab a drink and a snack and join us! Then, in October, join us for Magical Moments Only Ecotourism Can Offer with Patrick Wallace.

Don't miss another session - click here to get all the details on upcoming events and membership benefits and join us now!

Take good care,
Tracey
