There are so many reasons to travel. It opens up new perspectives, teaches you new things, introduces you to new people – and it’s also a great passion to share with a spouse or loved one.
Is it safe?
It is definitely safe to travel alone, even as a single woman. With a little extra vigilance and trust in your intuition, you can travel almost anywhere.
What if my family doesn’t think travel solo is a good idea?
They might be worried, but there are ways to stay in touch while you’re away. Besides, this is a trip for you, not for them.
I’ll be too lonely.
Not after you meet great friends along the way!
I’ll get bored.
With so much to see, taste, and do, there’s no chance of that. In fact, you’ll look forward to some solo R&R after a long day of sight-seeing.
I’m not good at meeting new people.
That may be the case at home, but you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to meet new people when you travel. What’s great is that you all have something in common – you love to experience new things in new places!
The benefits of traveling alone…
With no one to please but yourself, the pressure is off. Take the time to compose beautiful photos, read a book, and spend time with the most important person in your life – YOU!
An ideal option if you’re interested in traveling without someone you know but don’t want to be completely solo is to try a group trip – but not just any old cookie-cutter bus tour with 20 or 30 people.
Find a company like Delectable Destinations that caters to small groups of 4-7 people and specializes in taking care of all the details so you don’t have to. You’ll make friends with like-minded people and have insider experiences you’d never find on your own.
