​​​​​​​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.


MAKE SURE YOU SEE ALL 14 OFFERS.
This is our largest Advisory yet and Gmail may cut it short.

Uplifting grief retreats in stunning Scottish locations for widowed solo travelers

Those who find themselves solo because they’ve lost their soulmate and favourite travel companion often struggle to find travel offers they can feel comfortable with. Inspired through our own healing journeys after great loss we have set up Fire & Rain Soul Spas ® to share things that have helped us feel more positive again.

These uplifting breaks are all about self-care, mindful living, treating yourself and nature nurture in Scotland’s stunning natural environments. Think beach walks, mindfulness meditation, stargazing, creating memory objects, sitting by the fire with a book, sharing your story with people in a similar situation. Take a break to step back and allow what comes up. All activities are optional…explore the location on your own…and dip in and out of the group as you like.

With Fire & Rain Soul Spas® you can experience Scotland in a way that feels safe, inspiring and uplifting.

TWO TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

My Price/Benefits Analysis of Travel Insurance

I have never, ever traveled out side the country without travel insurance. As you can read here, I’m proof that travel insurance is worth it!  My price and benefits comparison shows 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.
