Tips for Single Travelers

    Amsterdam is Europe's ideal singles city. One reason is that countless singles from around the world come with one idea in mind: To have a great time!

    Be warned, though, that on package vacations, single travelers are often hit with a "single supplement" to the base price. To avoid it, room with other single travelers or find a compatible roommate in advance from one of the many roommate-locator agencies, such as Roomster (www.roomster.net).

    As for tour companies, TravelChums (tel. 212/787-2621; www.travelchums.com) is an Internet-only travel-companion matching service with elements of a personals-type site, hosted by the respected New York-based Shaw Guides travel service. Many reputable tour companies offer singles-only trips.

    For more information, see Eleanor Berman's latest edition of Traveling Solo: Advice and Ideas for More Than 250 Great Vacations (Globe Pequot), a guide with advice about traveling alone. Another good source of information is Connecting: Solo Travel Network (www.cstn.org).
