Janice & Tracey Solo Travel Award Winner We're pleased to highlight one of the 2017 Solo Travel Award Winner. This week it's Intrepid Travel.
Over 50% of travelers on Intrepid Travel’s trips are going solo. As a result, they launched 6 solo-only departures on some of their most popular trips. They have expert local leaders to show you around and no single supplement with our room-sharing option. They
also provide you with a room all to yourself if you prefer. This list may inspire a gift for a traveler you know. Or share it with family/friends and point out something you'd like. Or how about a gift to yourself!
When I travel solo I travel with more intent, more awareness. Solo travel is
good for mindful travel.
