Solo Traveler Fave Five: December
Chile is the trip I'm planning at the moment.
New on Solo Traveler
This year on Solo Traveler I’m adding a new dimension to the blog: monthly themes. You’ll still have the travel stories, photos and tips you’d expect but each month there will be a number of posts on a particularly theme. In January we’ll start with trip planning – seems appropriate. You can expect:
- Holiday trip planning based on my trip to Chile.
- Career break and long term trip planning.
- Gear: How to buy the best travel camera.
- Money, documents, insurance…
- Tours, cruises and group trip planning.
Next month is February. What else could the theme be but Romance on the Road.
