The lovely folk over at Wanderlust travel magazine awarded travelola.org Blog of the Week with my ‘9 reasons why solo travel is great’ post.
The post was written during my first visit to Australia when I was about to head back over to South America to check out a bit of Brazil, Bolivia and the Galapagos islands.

Hi Finola. Interesting blog. The last bit which you’ve added on as some kind of after-thought is actually extremely important. I mean about watching it when backpacking alone (meeting wierdos, esp if you’re a female). Not that the lone male backpacker is always safe either. Certain countries are best travelled in groups. Before you start off for places unknown it’s best to check out on websites, like this one or http://www.destinationsmag.com.au which is pretty good, and so many others. Merely relying on the tourism ministry brochures of XYZ-land are a sure recipe for disaster.
Yep, glad you highlighted that – definitely not a throwaway comment but maybe my execution/inclusion was clumsy. Each place and country definitely needs a mixture of smarts and research.
