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.

The next Free eBook: a collaborative project
The next eBook won’t be written by me. I’ll edit/compile it but the content will come from the readers of Solo Traveler and the Solo Travel Society. Solo travel stories and photo essays are welcome. Watch for editorial guidelines coming soon. I’m looking forward to publishing in October.

And now, to August’s Fave Five
