If you're on your own this December, why not create a fun-filled holiday with other singles like yourself?
Where can you start? With the click of your mouse, pointed at a travel agent's site. Ask for help planning a trip and tell them you'd be open to finding a compatible buddy to share the expenses and the enjoyment.
If you're seeking an incredible journey of the heart, mind, body and spirit, head for an action-packed group vacation. The Adventure Travel Society allows you to search for the perfect vacation by specific location, type of activity and organization. Dot-com professional Joelle Klein says, "The best part about my hiking and camping trip to Peru was that, although we were all very different in ages, politics, religion and marital status -- we had a similar sense of adventure which created a bond. Plus, there were two single women about my age that I hope to be friends with for a long time."
Then again, there's nothing like connecting with like-minded singles while spreading cheer to the less fortunate. People tend to volunteer more during the winter holidays, so there's a good chance that you can meet Mr. or Ms. right at public service centers. To get into the giving-back spirit, visit America's Second Harvest for a list of nearby food banks. Tedrico's Page can help you locate nearby soup kitchens or homeless shelters.
If you're the event-seeking type, and you'd be up for the most exciting holiday affairs your city has to offer, go to Citysearch's Holiday Planner. You'll find a list of entertaining concerts, festive parties, fulfilling benefits and other events where you're sure to meet other active singles.
