According to a recent survey conducted by solotravelerworld.com, 2022 is the year for solo travel with the top reason being the urge to explore the world without having to wait for others. If you are feeling like the folks surveyed and are keen to tick destinations off your bucket list but can’t find anyone who wants to visit the same places, then read on, and follow our continuing blog series, to discover the benefits of solo travel and great reasons to travel solo with Insight Vacations.

Are you dreaming of visiting Italy, Egypt or Ireland? Or other amazing worldwide destinations? We all have places that we yearn to see but have not because we cannot find someone to go with – or cannot find a suitable time for everyone. Also, in recent years we have not had the freedom and our bucket lists have grown! Now you are ready to get back out, so why wait for others? With Insight you have a fantastic range of destinations and dates to choose from.

Going solo in a group tour means getting the perfect mix of situations to suit your mood. Perhaps one day you’re feeling gregarious and want to wander with the crowds; have a drink, dinner and a laugh. But another time you might want to sink into the background and have some down time to yourself. As a solo traveler on a group tour, you can have the best of both worlds.

Feelings of freedom and independence expand personal growth and whether you are an experienced independent traveler, or a first time solo-er, the feelings of freedom and independence are unbeatable and empowering.

Traveling on your own is a great way to meet new people. Away from the bubble of friends and family at home, the opportunities for new friendships and connections are enhanced on a premium guided tour. For meeting like-minded travelers – going solo in a small group tour is great. Statistically, you’re very likely to meet some like-minded folks in any crowd, but when that crowd consists of people who have all opted to book the same tour as you, chances are you’re going to have quite a bit in common.

With everything taken care of, you can just relax knowing all the details are covered and enjoy yourself. You’ll stay in stylish hotels in great locations, meaning the sights are on your doorstep to explore. You’ll also experience great dining, with lots of variety and choice, so you will never be left out in finding authentic local meals. The security in a guided tour allows you to do what you want while knowing there are people looking out for you.

A lot of would-be solo-ers are petrified by visions of themselves amidst large families, rowdy groups and canoodling couples, but Insight Vacations is practiced at curating its groups to make sure everybody is a good fit. With groups capped at 40 people and small groups with no more than 24, you’ll always experience the comforts of a guided tour without being overwhelmed by crowds.
