You know the solo travel world has come into its own when The Washington Post does an entire travel section on it.
One article offers eight tips ensuring a "trip of ease."
Some obvious tips include using common sense when it comes to safety and talking to locals. One you don't hear as often is the recommendation to travel places where the dollar is strong. Agreed.
It's always fun to go somewhere you can live like royalty for very little money, but it's that much more important when you're not sharing expenses.

In another of the articles, the writer calls solo travel the "All About Me" trip. "More myselves and Is are venturing out into the world alone," she writes. Good for them!
So you won't miss the other two stories, I've included links here. One is a woman's personal story about a little romance she had while on vacation in Greece. The other is by a woman who, at 34, finally went on her "dream honeymoon" ... by herself.
What's interesting, and not the least bit surprising, is that all five stories were written by women. I certainly know men who have traveled on their own. But for the most part, women seem more adventurous in this arena, for whatever reason.

Definitely sounds like a great time! I’d love to do a solo trip like this someday!
