Solo Travel

Alison Nicholls on 19 Feb 2026

Solo Travel needn't be daunting with me by your side to guide your planning and at the end of a phone whilst you are away.

Travelling solo is one of the most rewarding ways to see the world, and it is something I love encouraging my clients to consider at least once in their lives.

When you travel on your own, the experience is completely on your terms. You can linger in a café in Rome with a good book, change your mind about your plans in Vietnam, or spend an extra hour watching the sunset in the Caribbean without having to compromise. Your time, your pace, your priorities.


Imagine:

Waking up in a beautiful boutique hotel with no fixed agenda except your own

Lingering over coffee in a hidden side‑street café because you feel like people‑watching a little longer

Choosing a sunrise yoga class, a local cooking lesson or a private guided tour simply because it speaks to you

Add something a little bit daring: a sunrise hike, a small‑group foodie tour, a scenic helicopter or hot‑air balloon flight

Build in gentle “me‑time”, from spa afternoons to quiet coastal walks or a glass of wine on your balcony with a view

Solo travel also opens the door to richer connections. Without the bubble of familiar company, you are more likely to chat with locals, join small group experiences, and say yes to those spontaneous moments that often become the highlights of a trip. From a cooking class in India to a guided walk in New Zealand, these encounters can lead to lasting friendships and unforgettable stories.

There is a deep sense of confidence and empowerment that comes from navigating the world alone, knowing you have chosen this adventure for yourself. With the right support and safety considerations, travelling solo can feel less daunting and more liberating.

With the right planning a solo trip can feel empowering, safe and wonderfully refreshing. I can help you design a bespoke itinerary that gives you independence, with trusted accommodation, transfers and experiences all carefully arranged in advance, plus the reassurance that I am here if you need me.

If a solo adventure has been at the back of your mind for a while, this is your sign to explore it.
