There was a time when the travelling solo was rarely considered. Unless it was impossible to avoid it, a woman simply never travelled alone. But today, people of both genders often go on adventures solo. Right now solo travelers and digital nomads are the ambassadors of progress.
Travelling alone does not mean being lonely. Many world travellers tell us that they experience a more authentic experience travelling alone than they ever have while travelling in a group. For example, a person sitting near you in a restaurant is quicker to say hello or to answer a question asked by an individual than they would if you were in a group of 3 or 4 people.
You are less intimidating and less threatening than you would be if there were several of you.
Expats are not uncommon in our global community. Many consider the money they save going solo is well spent on a luxurious private jet. In this article, we will share with you the top 5 adventures these voyagers enjoy.
