Why Travel solo

People travel for so many reasons, and they aren't different if you're traveling on your own. Travel brings out the best in people, we learn about ourselves, we learn about others - we see, learn, interact, experience. But when you travel solo you can set your own schedule, set your own pace, and set your own expectations. Do what you want to do, relax when you want and be challenged when you want.

Who SoloTraveler is For

Many people are hesitant to travel on their own. Our goal is to change that. Solo travel isn't for everyone, but a lot of people who would love it have never taken the leap.

Others have already started traveling on their own, but want more ideas about where to go and what to see and do when they're there. We're here for them, too.

We want to help people travel with confidence and see and experience more places.
