Global Traveler‘s February issue is our first Women’s Issue and I could not be more excited. Now more than ever there are programs, tours, cruises, etc., catering to women travelers and even solo travelers. Solo travel is something I explored more in the last few years, partly because it’s easy for me to take extended trips after my business is concluded in a particular destination and mostly because sometimes planning trips with friends or family can be too much of a hassle! 
In February’s feature article, “The Rise of the Female Solo Traveler,” we dive into this trend much more and I, for one, can’t wait to read it!
Do you have plans for any solo trips in 2020? Tell us!
