About Solo Traveler

Solo Traveler began in 2009 when Janice Waugh turned a personal passion for solo trips into a public project. The site is run by a small team including Janice and editor Tracey Nesbitt, and publishes practical tips, destination guides and a curated list of tours and cruises with no or low single supplements that is updated monthly. The archive stretches back to 2013 in the public sitemap and now runs to more than 600 posts, with fresh material published regularly. Articles are long and reader-focused, often packed with original photos and community-sourced recommendations.

What makes Solo Traveler itself is its warm, no-nonsense usefulness for anyone planning to go it alone. The writing reads like an experienced companion: encouraging, pragmatic and happy to let readers hear from fellow travelers. Long, deeply practical pieces are the norm - the recent holiday round-up runs into thousands of words and is stuffed with community tips - so you can dig in for itinerary ideas or stay on a page for an afternoon of planning. We find it especially strong for solo-specific logistics, safety and social options, and for readers who like community-sourced recommendations and longform how-to guides.
