If you are a single retiree, travel might seem a bit daunting, particularly if you are planning to venture into foreign countries. But being single doesn?t mean that you can?t enjoy everything that traveling has to offer.
There are two ways to define?seniors single retirement travel. First, it could simply be a single person who is traveling along with others. Or, it could be a single person who is traveling alone. In either case, there are three major areas of consideration when single seniors travel.?

When it comes to the cost of traveling as a single, any time you consider a package of some kind you will probably be charged a single supplement. Even if you travel on your own instead of in a guided tour, you will have to pay the full rate for most of your accommodations. But you could save some money with the following hints:?
? Ask everywhere if there are any senior citizen discounts. Be sure you also check with the American Association of Retired Persons and any other organizations you are a member of to see if they have special offers through certain hotels, travel agents, or tour companies.?
? In some countries (though rarely in America), you can get a single room. It won?t be half the price of a double, but it will be less expensive.?
? If you don?t care about sharing a room with a stranger, you can even ask the tour company or cruise operator if they could place another single of the same sex in your
You can also save some money and gain companionship if you look for other senior singles ?who have similar travel goals. Try your local senior organizations, your current social organizations or your church or synagogue if you go to one. Or, there are online agencies that specialize in helping single travelers to find each other. These include:?
? Connecting Solo Travel Network
? Travel Acquaintance
? Travel Chums
? Cruise Mates?
Certain travel agencies also offer single seniors travel programs. You can check with travelone.com and sidestep.com to learn more. Or if you already have a favorite travel agency, ask them if they know of any single senior travel options.?
As a single senior traveler, you will need to be more vigilant about your safety as you travel. Take precautions like letting your tour guide know where you are going and making sure you have maps, addresses, and a well-charged cell-phone with you. If you are traveling solo instead of on a tour, there are a couple other things to keep in mind. Choose seats on buses and trains that are surrounded by others. Make sure your family at home has your itinerary and that you let them know if you alter it. And pay attention to your surroundings.?
Despite these concerns with seniors single retirement travel, don?t let them stop you from having your travel adventures. There is no substitute for travel, and if it?s important to you, then nothing should change your mind.
