​​​​​​​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.

TWO TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

I have never, ever, traveled without travel insurance.

As you can read here, I’m proof that travel insurance is worth it!  My price and benefits comparisonshows that World Nomads is the best deal in most situations.

Security Recommended Now Pops up When You Connect to Public WiFi

​​​​​​​Hotel WiFi, coffee shop WiFi… they are all public and without a VPN you can have your identity stolen and your accounts hacked. I use StrongVPN when going on public WiFi to do anything financial. StrongVPN also allows me to watch Netflix when I’m out of the country and get around WiFi firewalls in countries that have them.
