So, although I am genuinely glad to have explored the UK by myself, I must admit that traveling solo internationally definitely presented a few challenges that would have been easier to overcome if I hadn’t been alone. So, never being one afraid to admit that shit really does stink, I present to you Part Two of Three of my solo traveling series:

Welcome to the latest installment in our new series, Some Like It Single, where we profile (relatively) small, independent blogs dedicated to exploring what it means to be “single” in American culture and, we hope, around the world.

This week, we’re happy to feature Singlutionary, Singlutionarywho has only been blogging since the beginning of the year, but who has already made quite a mark on the pro-single blog-o-sphere. Not only is she a regular contributor to Onely’s enlivening comment forums (she’s even made our Quote Board!), but she updates her blog frequently and entertains us with deep thoughts about the merits of dating, her search for a BFF-with-benefits on Craigslist, her remarkable house-maintanence skills, and her commitment to what she calls a “secular sabbath,” a day she thinks all singles should observe.

Welcome to yet another installment in our new series, Some Like It Single, where we profile (relatively) small, independent blogs dedicated to exploring what it means to be “single” in American culture and, we hope, around the world.

This week, we’re featuring Special K, where you’re sure to receive a healthy dose of introspective, intriguing, and just plain good writing about what it means to be a single woman meandering through life around the age of 30. K describes, in highly readable and prosaic language, what it means to negotiate between what she wants (or thinks she wants) and what American culture seems to expect of her.

Dear Copious Readers,

The other day I was perusing some of Onely’s favorite singles blogs and came across a recent posting by Singletude that seems to provide an excellent starting point for anyone who is single and considering buying a home. Since I have no experience (or plans for) purchasing a home, I wanted to share the link.

Hope you’ll check it out!

Also, if you have suggestions for other singles resources/info you’d be interested in reading about on Onely, please do so. In the next week or two, I plan to revisit this post about eating healthy while single and hope to use some of your comments in combination with other research to provide additional info/resources. If this and other topics sound interesting/useful, we’d appreciate your feedback!
