Solo holidays? Where & how to travel alone

All you need to know to travel alone

More and more people decide to travel alone and discover the world on their own. Although it can first seem a little bit scary, once you try it, you'll probably want to do it again. The advantages of these types of trips are endless, from the freedom to take your own decisions to the fact that you can immerse yourself in the essence of your destination in a way that couldn't be possible if you were travelling with other people.

In addition, these trips are perfect experiences to get to know yourself, make new friends, and improve your social skills. And although solo travel can look a bit risky, with a bit of common sense and knowledge of the best times to be out and the neighborhoods to stay in, the fun will always outweigh the risks.
