How to Travel as a Single Senior

If you are single and a senior, there is no reason that you should decide not to travel. Single seniors can have just as much found as their coupled counterparts. In fact, they have more freedom to choose exactly where they want to go and what they want to do when they get there.

Instructions

1. Book through a company that caters to single senior travelers. Travel One and Side Step can help you plan your vacation.

2. Research senior citizen cruises. If you are traveling as a single senior, look for vacation destinations that are going to put you together with others in your age group. Senior citizen cruises are a popular choice for the single man or woman.

3. Use a website to find travel companions. If you want to find someone to enjoy the vacation with, you can search for travel companions over the Internet. Many single senior travelers find companions as well as lifelong friends through sites like Cruise Mates and the Solo Travel Network.

4. Ask about the rates if you are traveling alone. Many times, hotels and cruises are still going to charge a double occupancy rate even if you are traveling alone.

5. Give someone a copy of your itinerary. Make sure that a loved one back home has all of your contact information and a schedule of where you plan to be during your vacation. This is a safety precaution that every single traveler should take.

Tips & Warnings

• If you do choose to find a travel companion through the Internet, be sure to screen them thoroughly before setting out on vacation with them.

• When you book your vacation, remember to ask your travel agent if there is any way you can avoid paying the double occupancy rate.
