Benefits of solo travel

Solo travel is truly uplifting and a brilliant way to travel. More than half the people we help with their adventure planning at Another World Adventures are solo travellers so you’re alone, but, actually, you’re not alone!

Did you know that we founded Another World Adventures after meeting as two solo travellers on a transatlantic ocean voyage? 🙂

Why do people love solo travel? Well, first off, you are completely free. Making a trip with friends is great but compromise is a must. With solo travel you won’t need to follow any to do list or visit places you don’t want to. You are master of your time. Just go for anything you want to!

You will finally have the chance to be selfish without feeling guilty. You will be able to take your time and do all the things you never had the time to do in the past. During your trip you can take a cooking class or learn a new language. Just follow your passions and make your trip an unforgettable experience!

Solo travel doesn’t have to mean travelling alone

First of all, it’s not true that solo travels are single or alone. Lots of travellers enjoy taking some time for themselves as a change from travelling with partners, friends or family. Modern technology means its easy to stay connected while you’re away (if you wish) and solo travel gives increases your likelihood of  meet new people, both locals and other travellers.

As a solo traveller you might decide to join a small group, for either all or part of your journey. There are a huge variety of small group adventures perfect for solo travellers who decide to join a group for the social aspect, to save money or to undertake an activity that’s not easily done alone.  With expert local guides, you will have the chance to stay away from tourist routes and explore the places you visit like a local while splitting the cost with others.
