Getting Yourself Started - Having some doubts about traveling on-your-own? The first time around - Most people do!

Hear's what a Fodor'sTravel article had to say, "Like many travelers, I used to never go anywhere alone, but after a few eye-opening, life-changing experiences, I’m hooked on solo travel—and I’m not the only one." He went on to say, "In fact, there’s so much you can do when you travel alone that you’ll wonder how you ever managed to travel with someone else in the past." -- Michael Alan Connelly, July 8, 2015

My Experience - Having traveled to many parts of the world alone, with friends and then family, I can say from experience that traveling alone had some unique advantages. Traveling alone presented a set of dynamics that at first were scary but in the end prove out to be sets of Great Experiences. I'm convinced that Best Singles Travel could have been of tremendous assistance!

One More Thing To Add - While working on this Blog, I came across the following words to live by for singles -- from Motto (A Time Inc. website) - "My own advice is to take the plunge. Once you land wherever you decide to go, you’ll feel empowered enough that all your concerns about feeling lonely will wash away." Enjoy your travels!

The Electric Kettle - A Review -- Streamline Your Kitchen for Safety & Convenience!

What could be new about boiling water in your kitchen? Probably not much - However, while the Electric Kettle is not new, it is a rare find in the American Household. In Britain and Europe it is the convenient standard. 

The following is a section from one of our staff reviewers write-ups:

  

"Boiling water safely and conveniently should be a no-brainer, especially since we have been enjoying electricity since the 1890's and the Electric Kettle was invented very shortly thereafter, albeit with important safety modifications introduced along the way.

Electric Kettles make life a whole lot easier and safer in the kitchen. It took me decades to discover the incredible value and peace of mind my electric kettle brings; I will never be without one again! 

Take a look at one of the Electric Kettles offered by ExclusivePurchases.com through our Amazon Link Here to scour the many offerings available; no doubt you will find just the right one for you!"
