First of all, Congratulations! You’re planning your first solo trip and trust us – once you’ve caught the solo traveller bug it’s impossible to shake it off! You might have questions, or maybe you’re nervous… don’t worry here’s all you need to travel solo with confidence!
Remember, the number one advantage when it comes to travelling alone is all the decisions are entirely yours! No more trying to please everyone – it’s your holiday so you can go where you want, when you want and do what you want! From that once in a lifetime trip you've always wanted to take, to returning to you favourite destination because you love familiarity or simply enjoying a weekend break here in the UK in-between your busy life - you're spoilt for choice!
One of our personal favourite go to trips for a first time solo traveller is a ClubSolos holiday. These are exclusive hotels just for Solos guests, so you won’t have to share the pool (or bar!) with anyone else – the property is entirely ours! With no dedicated itinerary, you can be as involved with the group as you like. So, whether you want to relax on the beach, explore historical sites with new friends or just find a small taverna to sit in and watch the world go by, the choice is yours!
“A small & exclusive hotel in a good location. You can pace the holiday however you like it.”
Once you’ve taken that first leap and made the all important decision of where you'll be heading, all the hard work's done! You can start looking forward to your trip (just try not to overthink!). Of course, you’ll be nervous, but why not focus all that nervous energy on the benefits of travelling Solo! From the freedom to do whatever you please, to the excitement of meeting new people, and the comfort of knowing you have a Tour Leader on hand 24/7 to provide guidance should you ever need it (and don't tell them we said this... but they really are great!!).
“For the first time in many years, I was a little nervous about coming away - I shouldn't have been.”
Remember, you’ve already taken the biggest step, and once you’ve agreed to travel solo you can do anything! Strike up that conversion with a stranger or sign up for that activity you’ve always been too scared to try – a Solos holiday is the perfect place to remind yourself that you can do anything and everything you set your mind to.
One of the most important piece of advice we've heard time and time again from our customers, is that travelling solo, doesn’t mean you’re going to be lonely! Everyone is in the same boat, and you’ll probably find it easier to connect and bond with each other.
“This has been a great holiday meeting some lovely people.”
We promise you that a Solos holiday is an experience you’ll never forget, and once you’ve arrived back home you’ll be picking up the telephone and we'll be waiting on the other end to help you book your next!
