Why travelling solo is the best kind of adventure
“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.” – J.R.R. Tolkien.
Have you ever had an incredible, like, God-tier adventure planned out but it was indefinitely on hold because you couldn’t find a friend to join you?
“Sorry, I don’t have enough annual leave!”
“Work’s killing me right now, I can’t get away.”
“Money’s tight – next time!”
“Oh, sounds fun but I’ve already been to that country!”
“Hiking up a mountain? For fun? No, thank you!”
It’s hard to tee up an adventure with your mates. Whether it’s a local weekender or a longer trip abroad. We’re all adults with busy lives and different ideas of what’s fun (and not fun).
But here’s the thing: if you’re always waiting for friends to come on adventures with you, well, you might never get to take that adventure. And that’s truly devastating .
So, we’re popping into your inbox to say: BOOK THE TICKET! GO DO THE THING! AND… do it solo.
We pinky promise – solo travel is one of the best kinds of travel experiences you’ll have. And here’s why:
 |
Choose your own adventure Solo travel means you’re in charge. Feel like eating ice cream for breakfast? Go for it. Want to turn left because the right path looks too mainstream? Your call. It’s your world; everyone else is just walking in it. Every choice, from sunrise to sunset, is yours alone. No negotiating or compromising required. |
 |
Make new friends Travelling alone doesn't always mean being alone. When you travel alone, you’re a magnet for new friends. You’ll meet people who’ll offer you directions, share secret spots, or just chat about life. Who knows? You might find your next best friend (or at least get a good story out of it). |
 |
Gain a new-found confidence Ever wanted to feel like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft? Solo travel is the way to do it. Navigate unknown cities, figure local bus schedules, and bravely order dishes you can't pronounce. Solo travel pushes you out of your comfort zone and forces you to rely on yourself in ways that staying home just can't. |
 |
A journey of self-discovery Travelling alone gives you time to think about the big questions: Who am I? What’s my purpose? Where did I put my hostel key? It’s deep, personal growth that you don’t always get when travelling in a group. |
 |
It’s easier to say within your budget With only one person to please, staying on budget becomes so much easier. Splurge on a fancy meal but stay in cheap accommodation (or vice versa). You’re in control of the money, and it’s honestly so liberating. |
 |
You’ll come home with epic stories to share Every solo trip comes with stories that’ll make you the life of the party. Like that time you accidentally joined a wedding party, thinking it was a free city tour. Or when you tried to follow a map, got lost, and ended up having tea with an elderly couple who didn’t speak a word of your language. These stories become a part of your personal fabric. |
At the end of the day, solo travel isn’t just about the places you’ll go; it’s about the mishaps, surprises, and personal growth. Is there anything better? We think not.
