Single Supplement: 6 reasons it bothers women more than men
The most discussed issue for women travelers is still the penal single supplement. Overseas hotels charge by the room, not by the person meaning that one person in a room costs double what two persons would pay.
Why is it that men do not complain as much as we do about paying more?
1-First and foremost, we earn less!

The Andes!
Today we drove way north towards Bolivia and Chile ending up at 12,200 ft. The views of the seven colored mountains, the salt lake, and Andean villages were thrilling. We saw llamas, wild Vicunas and finished our day in a market town full of crafts and alpaca scarves and blankets.
Box lunches of crunchy rolls and BBQ chicken worked and before you ask, we did have several ‘technical’ stops.
