Solo Traveler

Services


Going solo for the first time? Let’s talk.

Traveling solo is a fantastic experience. At least, it can be. But some people find the thought to be a bit daunting.

Let’s talk. While I obviously can’t guarantee that your trip will be fantastic, I can coach you on ways to make it so.

We meet over phone or, even better, using Skype with video as well. You prepare a few questions in advance so that I can be sure to address your concerns. I answer your questions then we chat freeform or even do a bit of role playing if that helps. The objective is to get you prepared for a great solo adventure.

Email me with a couple of meeting options and your questions and I’ll get back to you promptly to schedule a meeting. The cost is $100 for an hour.

Solo Travel: Stranger Danger Part II
Caught in a Con Game

This is the story that I have been sitting on for a year. I alluded to it in the podcast interview I did. Now you have it. It is a story of naivety, danger and extremely good luck. Please have a read and share it. Frightening films like “Taken” are based in truth.

  • The Original Why

    THE ORIGINAL "WHY" of Solo Traveler is covered in The Back-Story. The "Why" Continue" is because most of what's out there for solo travelers is not about us but about those making money from us. I want Solo Traveler to provide valuable information and continual inspiration to everyone who is passionate about solo travel. New posts every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Please let us know what you need.
