Here are some tips for those considering going on
a Singles vacation...
Can’t find someone to travel with?
Don’t be afraid to go by yourself... If you
can’t find a friend to travel with, consider going anyway. This may actually be a
blessing in disguise, because being alone forces you to meet new people. Most tour
providers will find you a cabinmate or roommate if you need one, or if you want to be
alone, you can pay for a single supplement (which can sometimes be very expensive).
What Singles Travel Groups are all about:
Singles Cruise and Travel Groups are designed to
create opportunities for people to meet each other. They will have parties, games and
other activities to help you make new friends. These new acquaintances may turn out to
last a lifetime.
Each group generally has a tour director who's job it
is to host all of the activities so that you’ll never feel left out. Traveling with
people of similar interests and age range, dinning together, and participating in other
singles activities definitely gives you a great opportunity to meet a variety of other
singles.
Some Singles travel providers even have pre-trip
parties where you can meet your travel companions before the trip - and after you get
back, hold post-trip get-togethers where you can exchange photos and stories with your new
found friends.
Find out everything you can in advance!
Call up the travel provider and ask what the ratio of
men to women is. Also check the age range of the group - trips usually fall into
the"under 35" and "over 35" age range. Make sure the size and age
range of the group is right for you.
Know where you’re going!
Pick a location you’d be thrilled to visit, so
you know you’ll have a good time even if you don’t run into the love of your
life. Think of meeting that special someone as more or less an extra added bonus. If
you’re busy sightseeing and having fun, you won’t be so worried about running
into the love of your life... and who knows that may turn out to be just the time that you
do!
General travel tips:
Don’t overpack! Take only what you will wear,
which is probably half of what you’ve laid out. Always carry on your person when
departing on a flight: Any medications you are on - Your Airline Tickets - All travel
vouchers you have - Insurance Papers and Contact Numbers - Proof of Citizenship (now it is
best to travel with a passport).
And have fun!
