Be part of the exciting new directions for Solo Traveler.
With the Solo Traveler Insider program we aim to deliver more of the information you want and need. At the same time, we want to support some of the truly extraordinary solo travelers out there, those on challenging grand adventures.
To Insiders we offer early access to special offers, travel stories that don't make it to the blog, digital products you would otherwise pay for, and a monthly speaker program with expert travel advice and inspiration. Plus, you'll get to guide the content of the Insiders through your feedback.
Why Become a Solo Traveler Insider?
There is so much more that we'd like to do for our solo travel community but are limited by both time and money. As the Solo Traveler Insiders grows, we'll be able to bring on an assistant and have the ability to deliver more.

Upcoming Speakers
The Future of Tours: Health, Safety and What Solo Travelers Can Expect
Escorted tours are great options for solo travelers, especially in these times when you might want someone to take responsibility for travel logistics should there be another lockdown. But what are tour companies doing to keep you safe on a tour with others and how are they handling the financial side of things so that your travel investment is safe as well? We're really pleased to have Terry Dale, president of the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA), to answer our questions. He'll share with us health and safety standards and protocols that tour companies should be following. In addition, he'll suggest precautions to take to ensure you're booking with a tour company that is taking the proper care. And finally, of course, he'll speak to how tour companies will accommodate solo travelers going forward.
