Ask an expert: Learning to travel alone123RF You learn more about yourself when you travel alone. - Al Yesberg, owner operator, House of Travel Broadway, Palmerston NorthGot a travel question? Have you any ideas, other than me taking a friend along, on how to avoid the extra costs involved in solo travel? Some hotels do have smaller rooms with a suitable reduction in tariff to reflect the size, and comfortably accommodate the solo traveller. Thinking it would be cheaper to travel solo, imagine my dismay at discovering that a solo traveller will pay more for accommodation, cruises, and many other things that are advertised as "twin share".
