Adult singles want to travel more, especially now since they have more time, money and their children are grown. Unfortunately, many do not have travel companions. While married they traveled with their spouses.  Later, they took trips with their children or relatives.  But now their children have families of their own and adult singles may now feel like a "fifth wheel" on their children's' vacations.

 Now they need new adult single travel companions. They could wait for the "right partner" of the opposite sex to come along but when will that happen?  Why wait?

Ideas for Single Travelers

Through his position as the travel writer for The Colorado Golfer newspaper, John Edwards travels to resorts throughout the world.  As national president of the Golf Travel Writers of America, he arranges visits to resorts for golf writers throughout the nation.  They stay and write about the resorts for their individual publications.

Additionally John has been a consultant with Spirit of Travel, a full-service travel agency in Aurora since 1988. He has been on 19 cruises and a guest at more than 80 of America's top resorts.

He knows about the resorts, cruise lines, ships and tour companies that cater to single adults traveling alone or with a friend.

Additionally he has taken many shore excursions and explored the ports--after he visited or played the area's golf courses.

More importantly, he maintains a current list of cruise ships and sailings that are hosting singles groups from throughout the nation.

In addition to taking two cruises a year, John continues his cruise consultant training. He has attended six national cruise conferences and toured more than 25 additional ships at different ports throughout North America and Europe.

To assist adult singles, he uses a questionnaire to help plan tours or cruises. Then can he make recommendations and follow-up interviews.

Actual bookings are done through the full-service Spirit of Travel agency in southeast Aurora. The established travel agency takes care of all arrangements, airfare and hotel accommodations. They sell cruise vacations at the same price as other agencies including on line companies.

When purchasing a cruise or international tour, always go through a travel agency for the same price. Cruises and tours are much more complicated than booking a domestic airline ticket on-line and there is no additional cost.

 Finding a Travel Companion

Adult singles often have difficulty finding same-sex travel companions that can get away at the same time, have similar interests and even similar lifestyle and smoking preferences.

Many 40+ singles want to take a cruise.  That makes travel even more complicated for single adults.

Most cruise ships charge 150 to 200% more for single occupancy. Unfairly, the single traveler is paying double for the room as well as the food. 

Some cruise lines offer programs to match singles up with others.  Don't do it.

You will meet your new roommate just before sailing. You will be stuck with this unknown person in a small room for the entire trip.

Through this Professional Single Network web site, John can help adult singles meet other singles and get to know each other well in advance. After they meet and establish their compatibility and coordinate travel dates, we can help them can arrange a vacation.

Selecting the Right Ship

Once single traveling companions have decided on a tour or cruise, they do not want to be surrounded by only families or mostly couples or elderly retirees. Different ships have different personalities.

Be aware that most "singles cruises" attract primarily young party animals. Only a few cruise ships work well for 50+ singles.

The travelers can either go on a cruise ship "compatible" for their age group and activities or on a ship that has some singles groups scheduled.








Organizing a Colorado Singles Group

It sounds like a good idea but it is difficult to organize Colorado singles for a party, a dance or a picnic.  A major trip that requires a big deposit doesn't work. 

 An international travel trip would require 16 persons who are ready to commit and make deposits months in advance.

Our fellow singles have conflicting work and personal schedules and extended families complicating their lives. While they are all interested, the actual commitment and a payment are something else.

Instead of trying to gather the same Colorado singles you already know, find a compatible travel companion and get away from home for new experiences with different adult single from throughout the nation. Relax and meet new adult singles seeking a similar escape.


Travel Planning Services

For John's recommendations and assistance on an international tour or cruise, e-mail him at cologolfer@msn.com.

He will help you identify the experience you are seeking, the destinations you want and the dates you can travel. He will e-mail some travel recommendations to you.   There is no charge for that service.

When the Spirit of Travel agency begins to plan your vacation for a $50 per person charge.  But, when you actually book your trip through Spirit of Travel, there will be no charge and the consulting charge will be credited to your final payment.
