Tours for Singles: Visit Costa Rica this May!

Monday, February 8th, 2016

Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet. Like many of the countries of Central America, Costa Rica boasts a diverse range of scenery, from its beaches, mountains and volcanoes to its lush rolling hills full of coffee plantations and banana trees. Costa Rica is also remarkably safe and has a friendly population. The “Ticos”, as the Costa Ricans prefer to be called, are friendly and very welcoming to those who want to experience a taste of what their beautiful home has to offer.

While the primary language of those living in Costa Rica is Spanish, many of the Costa Ricans in the country speak fluent English as well, especially those in the more populated areas and those that are popular to tourists. Costa Rica offers unique and extraordinary activities, such as zip line tours through the jungle, kayaking tours on Central America’s second largest lake, and activities on the beach like massages or snorkeling.

The 7-Day Tour offered by Women Traveling the World is going to immerse the traveler in a host of Costa Rica’s most popular activities. Out of the many tours for singles, this trip to Costa Rica is unique! Like all the beautiful countries of the world, Costa Rica would take months to fully experience. However, the tour includes activities that are carefully planned to a schedule, which can be viewed here. It gives those wanting to experience Costa Rica a great sampling of all that Costa Rica has to offer.

Reasons to Come Visit Costa Rica!

Some of the reasons to take a trip to Costa Rica may be obvious. The wonderful tropical beaches lined with palm trees and fresh coconuts or “pipas,” as they’re called, are an obvious attraction to many of the people who are considering taking a trip to the tropics. But those who have been to the beach may be more excited about a trip to the rain forests of Costa Rica, where sloths, monkeys, and parrots can be found living in their natural habitat.

Experience Pura Vida

Pura Vida, or Pure Life, as is the English translation, is the motto of the Costa Rican people. Costa Rica is a champion of everything healthy and green. The country is also home to a wide variety of exotic fruits like Dragon Fruit (Pitaya in Spanish), Guanabana, and Mamoncillos (or Mamones), each of which makes a delicious tropical fruit drink made by local restaurants and vendors.

Beautiful Guanacaste

Guanacaste is actually the province of NW Costa Rica. Bordering Nicaragua and the Pacific Ocean, Guanacaste is known for being an ideal destination for tourists looking to experience an idyllic getaway to its beautiful beaches. Guanacaste has more than 400 miles of coastline, and is warmer than the other provinces of Costa Rica that have higher elevations.

Catamaran Tour

The beautiful waters off the coasts of Guanacaste are home to an assortment of fish and marine life. Day 2 of the Tour includes a Catamaran Tour complete with snorkeling and snacks on board the sailing vessel.

Ricon de la Vieja National Park

Located in the region of Guanacaste, Ricon de la Vieja National Park is famous for its resting volcanoes and the activities that take place on their slopes. Trails and paths line the jungles of the region and this National Park of Costa Rica is ideal for trips full of travelers that are eager to experience what it has to offer.

Arenal Volcano

One of the exciting stops on this Costa Rica trip is going to be the Arenal Volcano. This currently resting volcano sits at 5,437 feet. There was a serious eruption in 1968, but according to seismic scientists the volcano is currently resting and in a dormant phase. Today the slopes of the volcano are home to activities such as horseback riding, white water rafting, and even hikes through the jungle.

The Hot Springs

The geothermal activity underneath the earth’s surface also results in a variety of hot springs in the area. The hotel actually features a swimming pool along with 4 hot springs, whose mineral-rich waters are great for the skin. Hot springs are the natural hot tub of the jungle.

Go Kayaking

Kayaking in the waters of Costa Rica is an experience that one won’t soon forget. Arenal Lake is the second largest lake in Costa Rica and sits at the foot of Arenal Volcano. Interestingly, the dam on Lake Arenal produces 12% of Costa Rica’s electrical energy. Kayaking on the lake is one of the most popular activities, and it’s actually a popular destination for windsurfers as well!

Ride the Zip Lines

Some Americans may have grown up at a summer camp that featured zip lines. While those may have been exciting, they pale in comparison to the zip lines that can be found lining the jungles of Costa Rica. The zip lines enjoyed on this particular tour feature 12 cables and 13 platforms, travelling a distance of 3 kilometers or 1.86 miles above the beautiful Costa Rican rainforest! On this day of the tour there is also an optional hanging bridge tour.

The Costa Rican trip for women that want to see more of this beautiful Earth and are ready to start with the amazing jungles and beaches of Costa Rica is going to be from May 22nd to 29th of this year. Many of the activities listed above are included in the price, and all that is needed to book the trip is a 500$ deposit! For more information get in contact with Women Traveling the World at 866-753-1552! Be sure to check out the full details of the trip to Costa Rica here!

Best Places to See in Rome

Thursday, January 28th, 2016

One of the best vacation ideas for single women is a trip to Rome! Italy is full of some of the world’s finest restaurants, boutiques, and tourist attractions. Italy, especially the capital of Rome, features an enormous amount of history as well as geographical beauty and destinations for people with all sorts of different interests.

Rome is known for its great and marvelous history. Vatican City is right there. The Coliseum is one of the most magnificent pieces of architecture that there is. There are also wonderful shopping destinations and restaurants to dine at. Whatever someone’s favorite thing to do may be – there is bound to be something for everyone in Rome!

Best Places to See in Rome

Coliseum and Pantheon

For the single women travelers with a passion for history, these two amazing pieces of architecture are a must-see. They are some of the most well-preserved pieces of ancient architecture in the world, and are bound to be interesting and memorable for anyone that wants to see them. Those that love history will be especially pleased by these great monuments that exemplify the power of the Roman Empire.

Pizzeria Luzzi

One of the best pizzerias in all of Rome, Luzzi is a must stop for anyone wanting a piece of authentic Italian cuisine. They also boast cheap beer and wine, as well as great service. Whether someone is traveling through Rome for a day or two on the way through Italy or spending some quality time in the city, Pizzeria Luzzi is a great place to stop.

The Trevi Fountain

This magnificent fountain is in the Trevi district of Rome, and is one of the most famous fountains in the world. It was designed by Nicola Salvi, and is of the Baroque style, and was finished as it is in its current state by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762. The fountain features Oceanus, the Roman god of water, in the central part. The Trevi fountain was refinished in 1998, and again in 2014. To this day it remains one of the biggest cultural landmarks in all of Rome.

Via Condotti and the Spanish Steps

This is the central part of Rome’s designer shopping area. Great stores such as Gucci and Prada are featured here, and it has even been known to be a favorite destination of the local celebrities. It also helps that it begins at the foot of the Spanish Steps, which is a huge tourist destination in Rome. This is a great place to start when shopping is on the to-do-list.

This list is an excellent place to start for the traveler visiting Rome and hoping to discover some of the best local attractions. Trips for single women can be tricky, and that’s why it’s always great to have an idea of what you’re getting yourself into. Sure, deviating from the plan is part of the fun – but it helps to have a road map when entering a city you have never been to. Women traveling Europe that pass through Rome will definitely want to be checking out these great shops!

1. The Caribbean

Caribbean Vacations for solo travel

4 Reasons to Travel to Costa Rica

Monday, September 21st, 2015

Top 4 Reasons to Travel to Costa Rica

Costa Rica has emerged as a top choice in tropical vacation destinations in recent years, and for good reason. This tiny oasis in Central America (it’s smaller than Lake Michigan!) offers everything a solo traveler could want.  Let’s go over some reasons why you should cross Costa Rica off your travel list this year.

  1. Uncompromised Natural Beauty

If you’re a nature lover, be prepared to fall in love with Costa Rica. The natural beauty is seriously a wonder to behold. Waterfalls? Check. Volcanoes? They have those. Natural hot springs? Naturally. Costa Ricans take the preservation of their rainforests and wetlands seriously. In fact, over 25% of their total landmass is protected and the country is considered a world leader in conservation efforts. Our Women Traveling the World Tour visits some of the most breathtaking sights to be seen, including the Arenal Volcano, surrounding hot springs, waterfalls, and a Hanging Bridges Tour which will suspend you over the impressive rainforest landscape. The beaches of Costa Rica are truly paradise with crystal blue waters and the softest white sand you’ll ever feel between your toes.

 

 

  1. You WILL Encounter Lots of Wildlife

Animal lovers will get up close and personal with all kinds of wildlife. Chill on the beach with enormous iguanas, and make sure to look up in the trees to spot families of monkeys. Hiking in the Costa Rican rainforest is always an adventure, and it wouldn’t be uncommon to spot deers, toucans, and sloths. Costa Rica is also known as a great place to whale-watch and see dolphins in their natural habitat. Whales are most likely to be seen December-March, so our upcoming trip in December is ideal!

Hiking in the Costa Rica Rain Forest

 

  1. Costa Rica is Safe for Single Women Travelers

Costa Rica has been a democracy longer than any other country in Central America and is one of the safest vacation spots for single women. In fact, the country doesn’t even have an army; they outlawed it in 1949. The people of Costa Rica are some of the most cheerful and friendly in the world, and are happy to communicate with tourists. The country was actually ranked number 1 on the Happy Planet Index in 2014. Their national motto Pura Vida (pure life) expresses their philosophy of living optimistically…life is short, live happy!

 

  1. The Food

Costa Rican fare has an emphasis on freshness and good quality ingredients. The national dish is Gallo Pinto, meaning “spotted chicken”, and consists of stir fried rice and beans. Add some scrambled eggs with sour cream or cheese and you’ve got a traditional Costa Rican breakfast. A common snack is fried plantains which are sweet and tasty. Fresh fruit is also common; get ready for the freshest mangoes, papayas, and watermelon you’ve ever tasted. Costa Rica is also home to some exotic fruits you might not have heard of, like Zapotes, Guanábanas, and manzana de agua.

Delicous Costa Rican Cuisines
If you’re looking for the perfect winter getaway this year, Costa Rica is a perfect choice. The natural beauty will leave you in permanent awe, and you’ll have the adventure of a lifetime. Find out about women’s group travel packages to Costa Rica and get excited about 7 days in paradise. Call 866-753-1552 or visit https://womentravelingtheworld.com.

Should You Buy Travel Insurance For Your Next Trip?

Tuesday, September 8th, 2015

Travel Insurance

The answer is a pretty straightforward one. “Yes. You need travel insurance for many reasons” and none of them are to help your travel agent get rich. Your travel agent has good reason for suggesting that you buy travel insurance for your next adventure. The “travel horror stories” agents tell might sound dramatic, but they are nonetheless true. Without travel insurance, you could very well find yourself stuck in paradise with no luggage, at the very least, or stuck facing large medical bills after an unexpected emergency.

Why Should I Buy Travel Insurance?

In most cases, travelers do not experience a life or death illness or any other major issue while on vacation. That is the good news. The bad news? Those travelers who have experienced serious interruptions to their vacation plans will tell you they wish they had travelers insurance to ease the financial and emotional burden they faced during an already stressful time.

Having the financial support to help you deal with any unwanted surprises while traveling is not only smart for your money, but smart for your peace of mind as well. However, all travel insurance policies are not the same. There are a few things you need to consider when making your decision on what type of traveling insurance to purchase and the type of coverage you should expect.

Any good travel insurance should cover the five following things:

  1. Medical Emergencies and Evacuations
  2. Cancelled Trips
  3. Lost or Damaged Personal Items (luggage included)
  4. Personal liability
  5. Flexibility with Trip Start/End date.

Let us explain each part:

Medical Emergencies – No travel insurance is complete without this component. Sure, medical treatment is often less costly in other countries. However, paying that bill upfront can still lead to sticker shock. When purchasing travel insurance, take the time to thoroughly read this section over. You will want to pay especially close attention to the type of medical coverage offered (dental, emergency services, routine medical coverage, etc) coverage limits, potential coverage exclusions and more.

Cancellations – Life continues even though you have made travel plans. In the instance that unforeseen situations arise (like a death in the family or medical emergency), having travel insurance will allow you to be refunded in the event you cannot make your trip.

Lost or Damaged Personal Items – Outside of emergency medical issues, nothing can spoil your travel plans faster than stolen, lost or misplaced luggage. In most cases, your belongings will get to your destination safe and sound. On the off-chance that does not happen, travel insurance can help you replace those items at a later date. For items that are stolen, you can file a claim and as long as reasonable diligence was done on your part, you will receive reimbursement for any items taken. For example, if you leave your laptop in a shared hotel and then report it missing, chances are the claim will be rejected as the company will mostly likely determine that reasonable diligence was not exercised. As always, when choosing a travel insurance policy, review the coverage limits on high value items (like personal computers, cameras, sporting equipment, etc.) to ensure the terms are best for your needs.

Be advised that in order to use this benefit of your travel insurance, you will have to purchase far in advance of your trip. Buying traveler’s insurance one week before your departure date and attempting to cancel the trip a few days later will likely result in a denied claim. Also, not all travel insurance plans are created equal. Some do not cover cancellations at all, while some only cover your non-refundable, pre-booked costs if your trip stalls after you’ve already left home.

Personal Liability – Normally, when referring to liability people typically think about car insurance. This component of travel insurance is somewhat like that but not exactly the same. Different countries have different rules, laws and customs. So if you are involved in an accident or unintentionally cause damage that you are held responsible for, personal liability  insurance can cover your legal expenses.

Flexible Start/End Date for Trip – This benefit sounds tricky but it is pretty clear-cut. If you have to cut your 4 month Bali trip down to 2 months, this clause in your insurance will cover you should you resume the remaining portion of the trip. What it will NOT do is cover you while you are home. The benefit to this feature is it keeps you from buying two separate travel insurance policies for one trip. Be sure to read the coverage options and benefits and identify the clauses (medical emergency, cancelled trip, etc) that are covered.

5 Healthy Advantages to Traveling Alone

Friday, July 17th, 2015

Traveling alone has such a bad rap, here we have presented 5 examples as to how traveling alone can be one of the best experiences of anyone’s life!

 

1. Surprise VIP treatment

What happens when we are the only one to sign up for a group tour or activity? We might inadvertently end up on a private tour despite paying a group tour price!

Sure, some group travel companies might have minimum quotas to meet before running a tour, and some will charge you a bit more if you’re the only one, but occasionally we’ll get to enjoy a group tour as the sole customer.
That means that if it’s a surfing or rock-climbing lesson, we will have 100% of the instructor’s attention — we can learn so much faster. On a history  or art-oriented tour, we will be able to have an in-depth conversation with our guide instead of getting a group lecture. If it’s a one-person-at-a-time activity like zip-lining, we’ll be able to hop from line to line without waiting for everyone else to go!

 

2. Reading Voraciously

If a traveler doesn’t read as much as they used to but wish they could pick up the habit again, solo travel is the perfect opportunity!

When you travel with a companion, naturally, you will always be talking. When you are traveling solo, you’ll have a lot of time to fill. You could spend that time engrossed on your phone, scrolling through Facebook  posts, or reading a good book.

 

3. Time for Reflection and Self-Knowledge

The beauty of solo travel is time. Time to be alone; time to reflect; time to test one’s self. Granted, sometimes that’s uncomfortable. Sometimes, we simply feel lonely and awkward, but recognizing those feelings and learning to overcome them is all part of the process. We get to know ourselves in a new way, test ourselves in new situations. After weeks of camping in remote places, we feel serene in peaceful silence. We feel refreshed. How often do most of us allow ourselves to spend quality time alone?

 

4. Confidence

The more we challenge ourselves; the more we stretch ourselves and the bigger our world becomes. We can learn how to navigate in a strange city, build a campfire, learn a language. Overcome one obstacle, and we meet the next more confidently. Now, when seeds of self-doubt spring up, one needs to remind themselves, “Well, we have come this far, what’s the big deal?”

 

5. Encountering New People

Traveling alone doesn’t mean that we will stay in solitude, not by any means. In fact, solo travelers tend to meet more new people when they are on their own, rather than when they travel with somebody.

We are free! We are not bound to spend time with certain people because we happen to have come to this place with each other. We are free like a bird and can mingle, find new dance partners, sit next to new people, interact and start conversations with whomever we want.

Women who are interested in traveling, but do not have a partner can take advantage of the wonderful group tours offered through Women Traveling the World. Find out more by calling 866-753-1552 or visiting https://womentravelingtheworld.com.

Top 4 Reasons Why Traveling to South Africa Needs to Be on Everyone’s Bucket List

Tuesday, July 7th, 2015

South Africa is a country filled with one of a kind attractions, cities, and landscapes. Here we are going to touch base on 4 reasons why everyone should travel to South Africa at least once in their lifetime. (Once one visits South Africa, we agree, it surely will not be the last time)

1. Captivating foods, and activities- When in South Africa, don’t worry too much when it comes to finances, just focus on enjoying time while there. The U.S dollar goes a long way in this country. Many restaurants in South Africa serve authentic South African cuisine at very affordable prices for the nomadic traveler who is a foodie at heart. Wine tasting is also a very popular activity in this particular part of the world. South African cuisine and wine, it doesn’t get any better than that when it comes to culturally dining out! Talk about going a long way for some one of a kind eats!

2. Cultural Diversity- One of the many reasons South Africa has become such a popular place for a traveler to visit is because people who travel yearn for culture. South African culture is different than any other culture we have ever experienced anywhere else on this planet. It is entirely unique to itself. Nearly 52 million people make up the South African population. This is a highly diverse country. Big cities in South Africa have often been compared to Chicago or New York because there are a multitude of different ethnicities in one common place. There are a whopping total of 11 different languages spoken throughout the South African land! Many of those languages actually being derived from native tribes, making it not only a cultural hot spot, but an overall culture based on the foundation of unity as well.

3. Awe-striking views and enjoyable weather- South Africa is over 470,000 square miles of breath taking coastline, exciting inner cities, and extensive farmland. When visiting South Africa you will be exposed to the ever so popular umbrella thorn trees, rolling mountains, and lush, green fields. South Africa is home to many observation lookouts as well. Always allowing us, from wherever we are, to experience the beauty of this land, extensively. The weather in South Africa is absolutely pristine. A pleasant refreshing year-round averaging temperature in the low to upper 70’s during the day, whilst dropping to the comfortable low 40’s pending the arrival of the sunset and late evening.

4. South Africa’s History- South Africa is a country drenched in history. Many a historians’ tour South Africa to meet their historical accuracy necessity, as well as the traveling nomad. The sheer pride of the South African people is shown throughout their country with beautifully erected monuments that celebrate the country’s tumultuous yet absolutely inspiring liberation movement. It is (hands down) a destination to visit if you need a bit of inspiration. South Africa is a country visited by travelers from all over the world. It has become increasingly popular over the last few years to visit this destination. Everyone should travel to this country at least once in their lifetime, but for the many people of South Africa, this is the beautiful place that they call home.

If you have been thinking about traveling to South Africa, but concerned about traveling by yourself, contact Women Traveling the World and find out about their group travel packages. Call 866-753-1552 or visit https://womentravelingtheworld.com.

5 Simple Hacks That Make Flying Easier

Friday, June 19th, 2015

Beat the Hassle of Traveling with these 5 Simple Hacks that Make Flying Easier

Many who stress over traveling (especially for international flights), often resort to Xanax or Ambient to get through the anxiety of it all, but there are actually plenty of travel hacks out there that make the whole experience infinitely easier. From finding the cheapest flights to getting through the flight itself with no worries, the hacks are infinite.

At Women Traveling the World, we’ve been on our fair share of adventures around the world, and with that in mind, we’ve decided to put together some quick hacks you may want to adopt for your next trip.

5 Simple Travel Tips for Your Next Adventure

  1. Check online for tickets on Tuesday’s around 3pm. If you travel with our group vacations at Women Traveling the World, the booking isn’t anything you have to worry about because we will handle that for you. With several years of experience working as travel agents, we can book any flight, no problem. However if you’re not traveling with our group, you’ll want to follow this travel tip. Airlines like JetBlue and Southwest often lower their prices weekly around 3pm on Tuesdays. If you check after 3pm, the larger airlines usually lower their prices as well.
  2. Try and get a workout in before your flight. Just like Elle Woods said in Legally Blond, “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make your happy.” With that being said, trying to get in a quick workout before your trip will help your body relax once you’re finally on the flight, which means it’ll be far easier for you to fall asleep (without a Xanax).
  3. Splurge on a lounge pass. If you don’t have time to work out before your flight, indulge in one of the airlines first class lounges. Many will offer “one day” passes, but that depends on both the airline as well as the airport you’re flying out of.
  4. The time of day you fly affects the turbulence. No one likes to fly on a plane that experiences turbulence because you’re essentially in a tin can 30,000 feet above the ground and shaking. So, if turbulence is something you want to avoid, try to book your flight early in the morning. Thunderstorms usually don’t begin to form until the afternoon, making morning flights a smoother ride. Plus, people don’t like flying extremely early in the morning, so the flights may be cheaper, and you may even be able to snag your own row on the plane to really relax. If you can’t snag a morning flight, try and book your seat in the middle of the plane. Since planes are kind of like seesaws, you’ll feel less turbulence near the wings.
  5. Make your luggage a quick find. Whether you have a bright colored suitcase, or a colorful name tag, you want to make sure you luggage is easy to spot once you reach your destination. More often than not, the luggage carousels are just one continuous line of black and brown bags that all look the same. So, get yourself a bright purple one so you can spot it right away and beat the crowd on your way out.

Learn other great traveling tips and opportunities for women traveling alone to safely reach wonderful destinations all around the world by visiting Women Traveling the World.
