The 10 unique joys of travelling solo
Liz Young has worked in the travel industry for over 35 years and travelled solo many times over the years both for work and leisure. This year she launched Individual Traveller, a bespoke travel service designed for men and women 45+ to travel with other solo travellers who’d like the opportunity to get together at the end of the day to share their experiences.
- You can take your time cherishing the beautiful surroundings at your own pace.
- You have a reason to talk to strangers and rely on their kindness to show you places, giving you the opportunity to see and experience local culture, restaurants and places of interest.
- It helps you to grow. You learn to be more patient with experiences which sometimes don’t go to plan. Instead solo travel gives you the opportunity to have an adventure you can and will resolve yourself.
- You get to explore on your own without feeling guilty that someone is waiting for you.
- You have the freedom to change your plans on a whim.
- Solo travel gives you time to think and learn more about yourself.
- You get to make your own unforgettable memories.
- It gives you the chance to self-indulge fully – nobody has to know what you get up to!
- You don’t have to follow anyone else’s plan. You can do whatever you want to do, when you want to do it.
- You get the chance to make new friends wherever you go.
Love to travel but don’t always have someone to travel with? Individual Traveller is designed for men and women who love to travel and the independence solo travel brings, but might enjoy sharing their experience over a glass of wine or dinner at night with fellow like-minded travellers.
