 Are you single? If you are than you
know exactly what its like to want to go somewhere and not be able to
find anyone to go with you. Just because you're single doesn't mean that
you have to commit to a relationship so that you don't have to travel
alone. There are millions of singles out there who want to travel, and
stay single. Whether its a short break, or a major overseas holiday, its
always more fun to share it with someone else. Not to mention the fact
that 2 singles travelling can always travel for less than 1. You can
book a room, or two, and you will always save. From meals to buy one get
one free offers, you will be able to take advantage of your holiday and
make the most of your budget.
It's important to find someone who
shares some of the same interests as you as well as the same energy! You
should keep in mind that when looking for a single travel companion,
that you both have the same expectations. If you like to sightsee and
spend the day walking, you don't want to end up on holiday with someone
who doesn't leave the poolside. Try searching on Google of Yahoo for
single travel companions, or...

Travel Destinations For Seniors
Peter Greenberg has compiled a roundup of some of the
more interesting options for swingin’ senior singles, which run the
gamut from safaris to small-ship cruises.
ELDERTREKS
If you want some adventure on the road, ElderTreks has been offering
senior-oriented trips for almost two decades. With both land and sea
vacations, ElderTreks features some pretty exotic destinations,
including Mongolia, Ethiopia, and Antarctica. Most of the offerings
tend toward the strenuous, but the Activity Level rank gives an idea
of just how active a particular tour is.
A Level 3 (most physical) voyage in Ethiopia, for example, could
include climbing down the base of the Blue Nile Falls, a three-hour
hike in Lalibela, and camping in the Omo Valley after some serious
off-roading. ElderTreks are not for the faint of heart or the
physically unfit, and can range from about a week to a month or more.
If you’re adventurous, and looking to meet someone else who is, too,
consider joining up with ElderTreks.
SINGLES ADVENTURE CRUISES
While the “Adventure” moniker may be a bit misleading considering this
company’s emphasis on large-ship cruising. Still, for seniors aged
55+, it could be a good way to meet others. Senior singles in need of
a buddy or wingman might like the “Travel Mates” program, which can
help to start friendships and meet up with a roommate to avoid a
singles supplement charge. Do be careful when exploring Singles
Adventure Cruises options, though — seniors should look for cruises
specifically targeted to them. Otherwise, you could end up on a cruise
full of single, hard-partying twenty-somethings. Their
garishly-designed website doesn’t help, but seniors should look for
cruises targeted at the “55+.”
They also offer “Ad-Lib Cruises” for folks who don’t like to be
overscheduled with group activities. These cruises allow you to be on
a ship with significant numbers of singles and participate in group
activities when you desire, yet still give you the freedom to pursue
your own schedule.
GOLDEN TRAVEL GUIDES
Golden Travel Guides isn’t actually referring to the “golden years”;
the company was started in 1997 by Rick Golden. But they do have
plenty of options for senior travel, providing seniors with a search
engine for exploring options on their own over the Internet.
Alternately, they offer a toll-free number to allow you to speak with
an actual “travel specialist” to help make your plans. Not all of
their trips are singles-oriented; however, a significant percentage of
their travelers on nearly every trip are, in fact, single.
ELDERHOSTEL
With more than 8,000 all-inclusive trips in all 50 states and more
than 90 foreign countries, Elderhostel has a global reach. But a
couple of things make Elderhostel a bit different from other
senior-focused tour companies. First, as a non-profit, Elderhostel is
dedicated not to making money, but to providing meaningful experiences
that help and educate both travelers and their hosts. Second,
Elderhostel maintains a strong commitment to community service with
many of its tours.
For example, seniors learn about habitat restoration and biological
research by helping scientists study endangered Giant Otters and
Hyacinth Macaws in Brazil’s Pantanal. Finally, Elderhostel is
committed to education as a goal for travel, with many of their trips
having significant cultural components to show seniors a more
meaningful side to the country than they might otherwise see.
Elderhostel also offers inter-generational trips, for grandparents
looking for service-oriented vacations for the whole family.
ALUMNI CLUBS
One final idea for senior singles vacations…trips for college alumni.
Many university alumni clubs will sponsor trips that can re-connect
seniors to long-lost classmates and spark new relationships. The added
bonus of these trips, aside from the fact that all the participants
will have at least their college in common, is that it will often help
the ol’ alma mater, too. Contact your former college for more
information on joining an alumni club.
