There are a thousand brochures in the naked city... Unfortunately, I can't possibly go on every trip that's out there. But I can pass along ideas that come my way for you to check out. I recently learned a couple of things about the The Wayfarers. For one, National Geographic Adventures rated the company one of the 10 best hiking and walking companies in the world.
And, it turns out, more than half the walkers who join their trips are solo travelers. I would still call to find out who's going on your particular trip if you're nervous, but the chances sound good that you won't be traveling with all couples.
Finally, there's the line in their "about us" section: "You'll never walk alone." Okay, it's a play on that schmaltzy song from Carousel, but as a solo traveler, I get their drift. They're offering experienced guides and a set of companions for vacationers who enjoy meeting people while away. And really would rather not walk alone.
