Travel Introverts can revel in the peace and anonymity, but for reluctant introverts, those who wish they were a little more outgoing, this way of holidaying is a fabulous way to force yourself to open up to new people. After all, travelling alone doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. Travelling alone can often, almost paradoxically, mean travelling in a crowd. Group tours, escorted trips and group activities offer the chance to travel with like-minded strangers. If you choose it to be, it can, in many ways, be the reverse of going solo, and not being in a clique of friends and loved ones can make you more likely to strike up conversation with new people. For the solo traveller, small hotels and guesthouses with just a few rooms can be a great source of information and company. The owners of such places often enjoy meeting and chatting with guests. They'll also have the best advice TRAVELLING ALONE CAN OFTEN, ALMOST PARADOXICALLY, MEAN TRAVELLING IN A CROWD and most accurate upto-date information on things to see, where to eat and how to get around. It is important to remember a few simple safety rules and tips. If you are heading out by yourself, let someone know where you are going, especially at night time. Don’t carry all of your money around – keep some locked securely away, along with an emergency card in your hotel room – and make sure you have access to a few emergency contacts. When travelling alone, you can’t afford to leave common sense at home, the onus sits squarely on you. But for the chance to cast aside the shackles of other people’s priorities, the extra responsibility can be so worth it. So whether it’s a short trip away, a week, or longer, rejoice in the opportunity to escape from the life-baggage of home and embrace the freedom to explore the world on your terms. LOOKING FOR PEACE AND QUIET… Fly direct to Bristol and make the two-hour drive to Gaia House, rated one of the best meditation retreats in the UK.
