In Vacationing Without Your Spouse/Partner, we covered the emotional issues that arise when planning a vacation without your late spouse/partner. In Tips for Women Travelers, we explored some travel options for women travelers.
Now we’ll offer some travel experiences that include men travelers and situations where you may want to bring along your kids or grandkids.
Men Travelers
While some men are comfortable traveling on their own, others may prefer not to. One option is to ask a friend or relative to share the experience.
A less conventional option, if you’re a man between 40 and 68 who enjoys dancing and socializing, is travel on a cruise ship as a “Gentleman Host”. With greater numbers of single women taking cruises, there’s a steady demand for eligible single men to provide dance partners. Aside from the opportunities to see the world at little cost, being a Gentleman Host offers numerous on-board benefits. For more information, visit the Gentlemen Hosts Page on the Compass Speakers site. .
