One in ten leisure travelers go on vacations alone, says a new report from the Travel Industry Association.

Finding fellow travel-mates can be difficult. Budget Travel's assistant editor Naomi Lindt has rounded up some resources for women who'd like to travel on their own or with other women. Feel free to post any advice of your own below.

Our new issue of Girlfriend Getaways officially comes out today, and we're proud like new parents. It's a treat to work on a different magazine sometimes, even for the guys. Though I had a weird moment talking about Girlfriend Getaways on Fox News recently...

The Lost Girls are accustomed to rubbing elbows with wild things in the concrete jungle they call home (a.k.a. New York City), but they weren't prepared to have monkeys on their back when they visited Monkey Island Preserve in the Peruvian rain forest. The hairy chimps dropped onto their heads from branches above until the women appeased them by forking over bananas as a peace offering. Despite the animals' mischievous ways, they contemplated adopting this little one but couldn't fit him in their backpacks. (Kidding!)--The Lost Girls

The fine print: Your mailing address will be used to send the beer cozy. I promise not to put you on any mailing lists. One request per person, please. Residents of Arizona can't apply because of state regulations about contests.

By the way, Girlfriend Getaways covers a lot of fun topics, such as wine country weekends, sailing schools ("Chicks Ahoy!"), and what's new in Miami. If you haven't gotten a copy yet, you can buy one by clicking here.

The lowdown: On Sundays, the restaurant cuts the prices of items on its menu. One course (an appetizer) is $25; two courses cost $37; three courses are $42. Female readers who present a printout of this blog post can receive a 50 percent discount off these prices, paying only $12.50, $18.50 and $21 respectively. It's a ladies-only discount: So if a female reader dines with a male companion, she's the only one who gets the discount off the courses, which already represent discounts off weekday rates. Reservations are recommended. "Casual chic" attire is requested. We're the only major travel publication offering this deal this summer. So, if you go, please be sure to let us know what you think of this restaurant by posting a comment here. (Thanks.)

An ad in Sunday's New York Times screamed "Ladies Night Out on Broadway"—women get 20 percent off tickets to participating shows, including A Chorus Line, Hairspray, The Color Purple, Mamma Mia!, Mary Poppins, and Xanadu. (Plus, there's a party at something called Spotlight Live, with giveaways, panels, and more, co-hosted by the delightful Jackie Hoffman.) I was just happy to see that Broadway has figured out that girlfriend getaways are such a huge trend. Whenever I get on my soapbox about it (because of course we have a magazine on the topic), I always mention Broadway as a great example: Go to any show and you'll see that a big part of the audience is groups of women, having a ball.
