Last updated: 23 March 2026

Why you should try group travel as a solo

Travel isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about discovering new parts of yourself. At Solos, we know that life-changing experiences happen when you step out of your comfort zone, share adventures with like-minded travellers and embrace the unexpected. Here are seven powerful lessons travelling with a sociable group of solos will teach you.



1. How to Adapt

Every day on a Solos trip brings new experiences and opportunities to try something different. Travelling with a flexible, supportive group helps you embrace the unexpected with ease and confidence. With fellow Solos travellers and a dedicated Tour Leader by your side, you’ll learn to flow smoothly from one adventure to the next – making every moment enjoyable and stress-free.


2. How to Be Social

Group travel designed for solos makes connecting effortless. Whether you’re sharing stories over a delicious meal, laughing on a boat tour, or swapping tips on hidden gems, you’ll see how naturally rewarding human connection can be. Even if you’re shy, being part of a welcoming group opens the door to friendships that last long after the trip ends.

 


3. How to Leave Your Comfort Zone

Trying new foods, exploring unfamiliar streets, or joining an impromptu activity, it’s all easier (and more fun) when shared with a supportive group. Travelling with Solos gives you the nudge to try things you might never do alone, building confidence, courage, and stories worth telling.


4. How to Avoid Regret

Life is short and adventures wait for no one. Travelling with a group of like-minded solos encourages you to say “yes” to experiences that excite you, whether it’s a unique cultural activity, a scenic hike, or a special local dining experience. Investing in memories now means fewer regrets later.


5. How to Go with the Flow

Plans are great, but life is richer when you embrace spontaneity. Unexpected opportunities, last-minute detours, or shared group suggestions often lead to the most memorable moments. With Solos, you’ll learn that flexibility is fun, and going with the flow is easier when you’re in good company.


6. How to Invest in Yourself

Travel is an investment in your happiness, growth, and well-being. Don’t shy away from splurging on experiences that feed your soul: guided excursions, culinary experiences, or a once-in-a-lifetime activity. Travelling with a group of solos ensures you’ll make the most of every opportunity, without missing out.

 


7. How to Trust People (and the World)

Travelling with a group teaches you that people are inherently kind and generous. From fellow travellers sharing advice to locals welcoming you into their communities, you’ll see that the world is full of good-hearted people seeking the same things: connection, happiness and unforgettable experiences.


Bonus Lesson: Shared Experiences Are Better

Travelling as part of a sociable group of solos doesn’t limit your independence, it amplifies your adventure. You’ll explore new places with freedom, but also have companions to celebrate every laugh, discovery, and milestone along the way. At Solos, our trips are crafted for people who are solo but don’t want to travel alone. Whether you’re newly single, widowed, an empty-nester, or simply seeking meaningful connections, our sociable group experiences transform travel into a journey of friendship, personal growth, and unforgettable memories.
