10 reasons why travelling solo
If you're thinking about taking a solo trip you're not alone. In recent years, solo travel has become increasingly popular and for good reason – solo travel can be an amazing experience. It's a great way to explore new places and meet new people. However, if you're like most people the thought of travelling solo can be a bit daunting.
That's why group tours are becoming more and more popular among solo travellers. A group tour allows you to explore a destination with other like-minded travellers without having to worry about planning everything yourself. Plus, you'll get to meet some amazing people along the way! So whether you're looking for an adventure buddy or just want someone to share the cost of a tour here are 10 reasons why group tours might be right for you.
1. You'll meet like-minded people
Going on a group tour is a great way to meet new friends and have amazing experiences together. You're likely to find other solo travellers who are looking for the same things as you - new adventures and experiences. With a group tour everyone is in the same boat, so you can easily connect with others and bond over your shared love of travel. Plus, having friends along for the ride makes everything more fun! Whether you're exploring a new city or hiking through stunning natural scenery you'll create memories that will last a lifetime. So next time you're planning a trip, consider joining a group tour - you might just make some lifelong friends in the process.
2. You'll have someone to take photos of you
One of the best things about group tours is that you never have to worry about getting those perfect travel shots. Whether you're trying to capture a picture-perfect sunset or just want a photo of yourself in front of a famous landmark, there's always someone around to snap a few photos for you. If you're travelling solo, it's especially helpful to have someone around to take photos of you. No more awkwardly holding your camera out at arm's length and hoping for the best! With a group tour, you can just relax and enjoy the experience knowing that someone has got your back (and your camera) covered.
3. You'll learn more about the destination
A group tour is typically led by a knowledgeable guide who can provide insights about the destination that you might not discover if you were exploring on your own. This is an excellent way to learn more about the history, culture and attractions of a new place. For example, you might not know that the Eiffel Tower was originally built as a temporary installation for the World Fair, or you might not be aware of the interesting folklore associated with Lapland's Santa Claus Village. By taking a group tour you can gain a deeper understanding of the destination and its significance. In addition a group tour can also be a great way to meet new people and make new friends. So, if you're looking for an educational and enjoyable experience be sure to sign up for a group tour of your next destination.
4. You'll have built-in activity buddies
One of the best things about group tours is that they can help solo travellers avoid one of the biggest challenges of travelling alone: finding things to do. When you're on your own, it can be tricky to find companions for activities-whether it's exploring the local sights or going on an excursion. On a group tour, there's always someone around to buddy up with. That means you can spend less time worrying about what to do and more time enjoying your trip and who knows, maybe you'll even make some new friends along the way.
5. You'll save money
Travelling solo can be a great way to see the world at your own pace and without the hassle of coordinating schedules with other people. However, it's no secret that solo travel can sometimes be more expensive than travelling as part of a group. This is because you often have to pay for things like accommodation and meals by yourself. Joining a group tour can help you save money on these costs as well as on activities and excursions. Not to mention, it's often more fun to explore new places with other people. So if you're looking to save some money on your next trip, consider joining a group tour. You might just make some new friends in the process!
6. You'll make new friends
Group tours are great for meeting new people and making friends from all over the world. These relationships can last well beyond the tour itself, making for some great memories (and potential travel buddies down the road). I've met some amazing people on group tours, and we always have a blast when we get together - even if it's just for a quick catch-up over coffee or a meal. Of course, there's always the potential to meet someone special and develop a lasting relationship. So, if you're looking for a great way to meet new people and make some great friends (and maybe even find love), a group tour is definitely worth considering.
7. You'll have peace of mind knowing that someone has your back
When you're travelling solo, it can be reassuring to know that someone has your back in case of any problems or emergencies. On a group tour, the tour leader typically takes on this role, providing a sense of security and peace of mind for all the travellers. Of course, this doesn't mean that tour leaders are responsible for everything - if you lose your passport or miss your flight, you're on your own! But it is nice to know that someone is there to help in case of any major issues. So if you're considering a solo trip, be sure to research the tour leader before you book. After all, they could be the difference between a great trip and a disaster!
8. You'll have more fun!
When people hear the words "group tour," they often imagine a herd of tourists being herded around like cattle. However, group tours can actually be a great way to travel solo. Not only do you get the benefit of being surrounded by like-minded people, but you also have the added security of knowing that someone has your back if anything goes wrong. Plus, let's face it: travelling solo can be lonely at times. With a group tour, you can be assured of always having someone to talk to, whether you're exploring a new city or just grabbing a bite to eat. So if you're looking for a way to meet new people and see the world, a group tour might just be the way to go.
9. You'll get out of your comfort zone
There's nothing quite like the feeling of stepping outside your comfort zone. Suddenly, the world feels larger and more exciting. Unfortunately, comfort zones can be pretty difficult to break out of. That's where group tours come in. When you travel with a group, you're constantly meeting new people and experiencing new things. This can help push you out of your comfort zone in a safe and supported way and best of all, you'll have a great story to tell when you get home. So next time you're feeling stuck in a rut consider booking a group tour. It just might be the best decision you will ever make.
10. You might just find your new best friend
Group tours can be a great way to see the world and meet new people. Whether you're embarking on an African safari or taking a walking tour of Europe, you'll never know who you'll meet. There's always the potential to make some lifelong friends. Perhaps you'll bond over a shared love of adventure or simply have a great time exploring together. These friendships can be some of the most rewarding aspects of group travel. Who knows, maybe you'll even find your new best friend for life.
