Hi Solo Traveler, Happy Holidays & Let's start the New Year off Right
Published: Sun, 12/24/17
It's quieter than normal.
It's that time of year when work stops (or slows) and what's really valuable in life takes priority. For me it's a lot of socializing and the luxury of time to read an entire book in a few days. Whether you're enjoying this holiday time in sun or snow, with friends, family or solo, I wish you the best of the season.

Both Tracey and I are in planning mode for our 2018 travels. For me, the year will kick off with a January long weekend of skiing at Mont Tremblant in Quebec. In the spring I'll do a self-guided walking tour in France. Tracey, lucky her, has a tour of Morocco in April. It's all very exciting.
That's it for now. Safe and happy solo travel to all.
