Women’s Solo Travel Is Under Scrutiny Thumbnail

Women’s Solo Travel Is Under Scrutiny

You may or may not have heard about the recent tragedy involving an American woman who was traveling solo in Turkey. A couple of weeks ago, there was a press release stating that she had gone missing. She was in Turkey to pursue her photography hobby. Just this past Saturday, it was sadly discovered that she had passed away while traveling by herself.

You can read an article about this here>>

Now with all of this being released to the public, the idea of women traveling solo is under fire. As to every argument, there are two sides. The one side says that women traveling alone is “risky and downright foolish”. The other states, “That is coming from ignorant people who don’t know the joy and the amazing experience that can be had traveling abroad solo or otherwise.”

How to Get Your School To Pay For Your Trip To Italy

Don’t be confused, the title of this article is not “How to Get Your School To Pay For Your Next Vacation.”   If you have a desire to go to Italy, then present your school the value of history, cultural, geography, language arts and science of your trip.  The value of experiencing Italy (or any country or destination) cannot be replicated in a classroom.  Climbing the steps of  Rome’s Colosseum or finding hidden gems such as Civita di Bagnoregio or the Valley of the Temples is an invaluable educational experience.

Leave Your Dumb… Bells at Home

Vacation is not an excuse to take a day off from your P90X workout, but you might find your hotel room doesn’t have enough room or a DVD player.   Well check out Even Hotels, the new chain from the InterContinental Hotel Group, where the guest rooms are designed with enough floor space for visitors to work out in them and include coat racks that double as pull-up bars, exercise benches that are also luggage benches, yoga mats tucked in the dresser drawers and foam rollers.

Many hotels have more than a treadmill in their gyms and you’ll find free weights, medicine balls, yoga mats and saunas in certain Weston, Kimpton and Sheraton hotels trying to lure the fitness conscience traveler.  Can’t wait until you arrive at the hotel, then  plan your itinerary though the DFW,  SFO or Indianapolis airports where you can borrow running shoes, iPods and join a Yoga session between flights.

You might not need trip delay insurance as long as you can squeeze in a good sweat between your next flight.  Read more about what hotels and airports fitness amenities online at  http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/travel/easing-the-pain-of-workouts-on-the-road.html?emc=tnt&tntemail0=y
