Holidaying on your own? Well, get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! Solo travel not only means having complete freedom to do what you want, when you want, but it also gives you the chance to meet fascinating people from around the world.

If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to travelling alone, here are a few tips and tricks that might help you along the way…

Plan ahead

Creating a bucket list for the destination is usually a good place to start. Add attractions that you definitely want to visit, restaurants you want to try and places you want to see. Our Jet2blog is a great source of inspo!

Learn the local lingo

Learning a few words in the local language can usually go a long way. It’s handy to know how to ask for directions and how to ask for the bill in a restaurant.

Stay safe

When it comes to heading out and about on your own, it’s a good idea to stay relatively low-key. Leave valuables securely locked in your hotel room and keep your belongings close at all times.

Meet new people

If mingling with locals is high on your agenda, then head to independent coffee shops and cafés where there are large communal tables that encourage people to sit together.

Try new things

Whether it's a cooking class or a tour, you're more likely to meet people who have similar interests! Plus, it’s a much easier way to get talking to strangers when you’re all in the same boat. Our trusted partners have hand-picked a collection of experiences offering something for everyone.

Keep connected

It’s good to let family and friends back home know where you plan to be and for how long. It’s also nice to update them on all the exciting things you’re doing as you go too.

The most important part… have fun!

Whether it’s your first experience as a solo traveller or you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll soon see how much fun you can have on a solo travel trip.

So, what are you waiting for?
