Love this story in Forbes about the influence women yield when it comes to travel decisions.
"Women are fueling an explosive growth, making 80% of decisions and expected to spend more than $125 billion this year," writes author Cecilia Rodriguez
This reflects the norm in my life and in all the relationships I have had. I have always been the one longing to get the heck out of dodge.
What's also interesting is that the "average adventure traveler is not 28 and male but 47 and female, according to the Travel Industry Association of America.
Why is that? Is it because these women are facing an empty nest and experiencing an "Eat, Pray, Love" epiphany? Perhaps.
Whatever the reason, do it. Travel is one of the few things that costs money but makes you richer. And don't be afraid to do it alone. I have done Barcelona, Paris, Israel and many domestic trips solo. Sure, there are certain safety issues you must consider but the joys of solo travel range from self-discovery to being able to tell some great stories down the road.
