Your Singles Trip Roommate

Sat 10 Sep 2011 05:00:00 GMT

Travel companies recognize that many people looking to meet singles while traveling don't want to go it alone. If you'd like to have a companion and don't want to pay double occupancy rates, look into getting a roommate from your travel agent or singles travel company. Before you agree to share a room with anyone, you should discuss a few things that could cause friction on your trip. It's best to deal with these issues before they cause trouble so you can enjoy all that singles adventure travel has to offer. 1. Odor: Are you allergic to fragrance or certain chemicals? Discuss it 2. Smoking: If you are a non-smoker, try to seek out another non-smoker on the trip 3. Sleeping: To avoid waking up to the sound of a blow-dryer at 4 a.m., establish quiet times with your roommate 4. Privacy: Establish privacy and safety guidelines right away. You don't want to come back to your room to find some guy passed out on your bed. Talk about keeping the room private. Also, set ground rules for what types of information you want shared with others
