The concept of becoming a solo traveler isn’t a very inviting prospect to some, but it’s amazing how invigorating the experience can be if you take the opportunity with both hands and run with it. What if you really fancy the idea of a week in a European resort but your other half, or your friends, don't want the same things - or they do but can’t afford it? There’s absolutely no reason why you can’t go it alone and make the most of this incredibly liberating experience. After all, the only opinions and preferences that matter on a solo sojourn are yours.
All you have to think about during your solo visit is what you want to do. With many holidays offering tailor made services to ensure your break is down to a tee, you can be sure to find the experience both rewarding and positive. What’s more, if you wish to meet new people and make new friends during your trip, you can. There are meet and greet services as well as many activities being planned to incorporate customary friend making. Cycling holidays are perfect for this, offering group cycling tours of Europe and giving you the opportunity to explore your resort and beyond, with added social gain.
Adventure holidays for singles are also available for those that want something a little bit more challenging. Although long haul escapes often include the more audacious resorts including jungles and mountains, short haul destinations have the fair share of thrills. From rock climbing in the Alps to ice diving during the winter months in Sweden, you can be sure to get your adrenaline fix if that’s what you want.
Maintain your independence and start planning your solo sojourn. Make sure you do your research and arrange accommodation that caters for the single traveler, to avoid hefty supplements. Traveling alone doesn’t have to cost the earth but can provide you with lasting memories of a liberating and rewarding vacation.
