How Singles Travel While Making Friends and Memories

Is your feed flooded with friends and influencers traveling the world with their partners? Are you feeling left out, like you can’t take these trips because you’re single? You’re not alone; nearly 50% of the US population is single! Like you, many like you can feel left out, missing opportunities to travel to special places because they lack that special someone to bring with them. Maybe traveling where you want with friends or companions is proving difficult for other reasons, like simply having different priorities and interests regarding what to see and do with available time and money.

The disconnect between your ideas and those of your friends can be what pushes you to consider traveling alone. A rebellious “I don’t need anyone else” spirit can take you farther than you might think.

Solo Travel Isn’t for Everyone

Some independent singles travel on their own, comfortable with making arrangements for one, flying solo and adventuring without companionship. It can be an excellent way to make your own decisions and execute them without anyone holding you back. Creating your own itinerary for two weeks in Europe or Asia and following through on it can be a tremendous accomplishment and source of self-pride. But for many, the positives don’t seem to outweigh the negatives:

• Increased costs of travel (no splitting hotels or cabs, no group discounts on flights or itineraries)
• Lack of safety in unfamiliar places and situations
• Limited or no social interaction
• Decision paralysis – nitpicking every aspect of your journey with no one to assist you

If plotting a solo trip is your thing, kudos for embracing your passion to see the world unfettered. Most people, though, feel the need to have friends, family, and/or partners to share in their worldly travels. After all, many of our greatest memories are made simply waiting in line, rather than at the attraction itself. If you’re in the camp that prefers a group to socialize with instead of hoping you find one along the way, your next questions are only “when” and “how much?”

Singles Travel Can Be Difficult…

For those of us with the passion to see the world but lacking the available friends or partners to share dream destinations with, how does a singles travel plan come together? Sure, there are touring companies that provide opportunities for singles to see what they want, when they want. But that typically involves congregating with your tour group the day of the trip, making the journey and enjoying your stay, then bidding farewell to the group. Upon returning home, it’s back to reality: you’re still single, out of things to do, and out of money after spending it all on the trip.
