In February, some people want flowers and candy. Others would prefer elephant rides and traveling on a songthaew.

Wikipedia reminds us of S.A.D. days ahead. Not sad, but

Singles Awareness Day

, celebrated on Valentine’s Day. For those of you who want to travel but don’t have a special someone to go with, why not see if you can find that special someone while traveling abroad?(Or, love yourself so much that you’d rather travel solo and enjoy your own company.)

G Adventures

has several overseas sales going on all under $1000, including a trip to

Bangkok for $649

According to G Adventures’ press release, a significant portion of their travelers coming from all over the world travel solo.

“There’s no doubt that traveling is a great way to meet new people. You share new and often life-changing experiences with other likeminded people,” says Bruce Poon Tip, G Adventures’ founder. “When you travel with someone, you truly get to know them. Many of our customers have become life-long friends after meeting on one of our trips for the first time, and some have even met their significant others.”

And make sure you wear green, too, because according to the tradition of S.A.D., it’s the opposite of red. If you’d like to take advantage of this day with like-minded partners, check out the
