    Women’s Touring Company Welcomes the “Mildly Adventurous” Solo Female Traveler

    Tomgirl Tours is an upscale, boutique adventure and culinary touring company for women that specifically encourages solo travelers. Tours range from serious adventure (think: zip-lining through the forest in New Hampshire or hiking below the rim at the Grand Canyon), to serious culinary exploration (al fresco cooking classes and progressive dinners with the finest chefs and restaurants in gorgeous Providence, RI). Quoted prices (www.tomgirltours.com) are PPDO, but Tomgirl offers room-matching for solo travelers and, if there is no one to match with, solo travelers will have a single room at no additional charge.

    Tomgirl’s founder and CEO, Lori Carr, launched this company in part based on her own experience with solo travel: she longed for adventure tours, but was hesitant to try them alone. One of our mantras: travel with friends or make new ones. Ensuring that tours are friendly to the solo traveler (and safe for women traveling alone) is a high priority at Tomgirl Tours.

    Single Supplement Waived

    I am a solo traveler myself, and spotted this announcement yesterday. Visiting Europe in the winter months is a great deal. Prices are up to 25% less than peak season travel, plus there are fewer crowds and shorter lines. And, for those traveling as a single, Globus has waived the single supplement on Winter European Panoramas and Regional Discoveries. There are dates, terms and conditions, and deposits to be concerned with, I ask that you let me help out with the details of reservations for you.  No charge to you through this group. I will add more information on my blog (linked from the company website). And, if I discover one particular tour of interest to everyone, let’s unite and go as a group.

    Solo in Abruzzo
    I have a small house in Abruzzo Italy.  It has two bedrooms but would be quite nice for a solo traveler.   Although I am happily married I go there by myself from time to time.  The house is located in a small village of 350 people.  One person is less wear and tear on the house and the prices are in US dollars so I can rent it to you for a very small sum.   Because the village is small and few people there speak English this is an excellent opportunity to practice up on your Italian language skills.   I know the area of Teramo pretty well and am willing to provide information to anyone interested in visiting this lovely area, single or not.
