Solo Traveler: February’s Fave Five
On the first of every month I usually offer you the Solo Traveler Fave Five of the previous month. This was delayed from March 1 as I deliberated the fate of my Chile trip and you helped. Thanks!
Here, finally, are the most popular posts on Solo Traveler in February. The number one post is on safety and actually from January but it continues to enjoy great popularity. The Dali post offers novelty appeal to the blog and the culture shock piece points to the need for How-to articles. Thanks to Andy Hayes for his reflections on “Why I Travel Solo” which was enjoyed and commented on by many. And, also, thanks to the six travel bloggers who shared how, for them, “Travel and Art intersect on the road to understanding”.
Here are February’s Fave Five:
- Solo Travel Safety: Safe answers to common questions.
- Solo with Salvador Dali: Figueres, Spain
- How to travel alone: 10 tips to survive culture shock.
- Travel and Art Intersect on the Road to Understanding
- Why I travel solo.
Wonder what the favorite solo travel posts will be for March?

Solo Traveler: August’s Fave Five
I always find it interesting to look back through the stats and see what posts generated the most clicks and comments. According to Google Analytics, traffic here on Solo Traveler increase by 82% in August. That’s huge jump and it looks like it is primarily due to the eBook that came out mid month. Its popularity certainly suggests to me that there should be another.
