Solo travel: between surpassing oneself and discovering the world

Tired of waiting for your loved ones to have the same availability as you? Go solo! Solo travel is all the rage these days.

Solo travel requires a great deal of organization. A destination, accommodation, sufficient security and budget. For your accommodation, for example, opt for youth hostels. They’ll allow you to pay less for your night’s stay and meet new people! Once again, for your safety, find out well in advance about the place you want to discover, the neighborhoods to avoid and useful places such as hospitals, police stations and local shops. With all this, you’ll have the key to a successful trip.

Self-discovery is usually at the heart of this kind of trip. It’s a great alternative when you want to get away from a hectic day-to-day routine, when you’re on automatic pilot. If you need to make big decisions or simply refocus on yourself. Or maybe you just like the peace and solitude that this mode of travel brings 😉. In other words, it’s a great way to recharge your batteries and clear your head!

If you’re the kind of solo traveler who takes the plunge because there’s no one to go with you, we’ve got a great alternative for you: solo group travel! More and more websites are offering a new kind of concept: traveling with strangers. These include Les Covoyageurs, Copines de Voyage and Weroad. It’s a pretty cool alternative when you want to travel without actually being alone. A big advantage if no one you know can come with you. Thanks to this kind of concept , you’re not alone😉 It can be in the form of a tour for those who are more into road trips, or simply relaxing by the sea. Each site has its own specificity: some offer trips based on affinities, others are just for girls, or others are totally adapted to what you want to discover. Whatever the case, you’re bound to find something to suit you!

Take the plunge and tell us how it went! 😊
