My first solo travel was as a college student traveling for 5 weeks by bus from Washington, DC to California. As of 2015, I have visited all 50 US states and 66 countries from the world’s major capitals to the byways of Rarotonga and West African islands. Although it has been a great adventure, I quickly discovered that we solo travelers generally pay a hefty premium in contrast to pairs and groups. To make matters worse, as a single traveler, we may not get access to top quality whatever the charge. To address this problem I launched SoloTrekker4U.com on Dec. 12, 2012 with pre-approved providers for better pricing and opportunity for those traveling alone.
