discussion among solo traveler

vadahmail030937
over 4 years ago

I am 68 year old female who travels on RS trips solo---because my husband has not yet retired---and I would like to know if there is anywhere on this site that solo travelers post a little bit about themselves and what trips they are contemplating so that other solo travelers might get to know others and perhaps plan trips together.  I have seen this on discussion boards on Rick Steves travel website, but have not found anything similar on this site.  I love to travel, and will travel solo by necessity, but would much prefer to meet others and travel with someone I know a little about.  I have limited funds and cannot usually afford to pay the single supplement to stay in a room by myself.

    I am 65 yr old female solo traveler who depends on RS programs to take good care of me. I also sign up for roommates because of the cost. What is your activity level? I like to do active and mod. active while still possible. I bike, hike, paddle, ski, and like history and cultural studies. I am signed up for the C& O Canal towpath bike trip for Sept. 3 - 8. and the Guatemala/Belize Program #20813 for November 8-17, 2018. It would be great to get to know someone with similar interests.

    Hello Doreanp, I am a solo traveler also and, like you, interested in history and cultural studies. I am an incurable
    eurocentric, but very interested in Latin America. I am currently enrolled in 'Water and the Maya' (Yucatán) for
    Nov. 3rd thru 14th 2017. Your upcoming program in Guatemala/Belize looks very interesting too. I once vowed
    NEVER to step foot in Guatemala because of the extreme government repression of indigenous peoples in the
    country. I am still a bit reluctant to go, but am told that things are much better now. I may look into this program
    and, who knows, we may cross paths in Mesoamerica.

    I’m very interested in those cultures as well! At 17 yr’s old I wrote my final history report on the Maya, that was 1976! The trip your going on sounds wonderful. I’ve gone to Cancun 5 times to learn & see all the great things this culture built. Chichen Itza was like seeing the pyrminds in Egypt. It was so hard to chose a RS trip between Mesoamerica and Egypt for travel in Jan. 2019. I figured if I didn’t go to Egypt now at 60 yr’s old I’d never go. Its so much easier to travel in th America's than the African continents.
