Being in the travel business, I write copy aimed at US, Canadian and British markets. 

I use 'traveler' and 'traveled' for US clients, and 'traveller' and 'travelled' for Canadian and British markets. Because that is what my international colleagues do, and it is exactly what I learned at school. 

The same applies to 'canceled' or 'cancelled' reservations. 

As far as I know, European languages derived from latin apply the latin rule that the last consonant before the suffix is doubled - unless there is no vowel before this consonant, therefore it is not 'doublled'. That's the way I learned it.
