Traveling Solo

Excellent article by By Renee Lo Iacono about what you will learn about yourself (and the world) when you take the courage to set off into unknown territory by yourself.

The author says … “It took me nearly ten years to find the courage to embark upon that trip to South America alone because I was too worried about how I would survive traveling solo, and now I wouldn’t dream of traveling any other way.”

Discover . . .

That you are more resourceful than you thought

How satisfying it is to make your own important decisions

That you might actually enjoy doing typically social things alone

That you are never really alone

How strangers can often become lifelong friends

That traveling solo allows you to do things on the spur of the moment

That solo travel can help you become the most independent and confident version of yourself.

Spectator Yacht Day at Olympic Sailing Venue

Great Deal From TRAVELZOO …

The Deal

Step aboard a 42-foot yacht for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the sailing events at the London 2012 Olympic Games. A limited number of Weymouth charter boats have been granted permission for spectator viewing during this historic event — and you could be on one of them, courtesy of Orange Tree Events, for £195 per person.

You would normally have to charter a whole boat from £1450 for a full day for this experience.

This exciting 8-hour sailing trip includes breakfast on arrival, with your choice of a Danish pastry or bacon roll, plus soft drinks and tea and coffee throughout the day.

You will board the yacht at Weymouth Harbour at 9am for breakfast and a safety briefing, then sail out to sea for the first few hours and get the opportunity to take the wheel and help the crew with manoeuvres. You will then return to the inner shore to motor or anchor around the Olympic sailing areas to watch the races.

After the events, you will head back out to sea for the afternoon, returning to Weymouth Harbour at around 5:30pm.

On return you will get the opportunity to visit the free beach sports arena and festival areas nearby.

This historic event is exclusively available to Travelzoo subscribers, daily, from 29 July-6 August.
