Solo Travel Packages

These aren’t your usual “pack a power bank” kind of tips. These are learned-on-the-road, real solo travel gems: 

1. Choose destinations with great public transport: It makes day trips easy and safe. Think Tokyo, Lisbon, or Singapore. 
2. Let us book you into charming, locally-owned stays or boutique hotels: These spots offer authentic hospitality and local insights you won’t always get at big chains. 
3. Use map apps with offline features: You’ll always find your way, even without Wi-Fi. 
4. Pre-book at least your first night: It removes arrival stress and gives you time to find your groove. 
5. Join group day tours: It’s a low-pressure way to be social while still enjoying your independence. 
6. Have a digital check-in buddy: A friend or family member who knows your general plans.
7. Learn a few phrases in the local language: It goes a long way with locals and adds depth to your trip.

Should I travel alone as a woman? 
Yes, with the right prep and destination, solo trips for women are empowering and safe. Countries like Japan, Slovenia, and Iceland rank highly for solo female travellers.

You don’t need a plus one to enjoy good food. Here are a few solo-friendly foodie experiences that also make great conversation starters at the next café table. 

Thailand 

Try this: Khao Soi (a creamy coconut curry noodle soup) and mango sticky rice for dessert. 

Drink this: Thai iced tea or a fresh coconut straight from the shell. 

Take home: A Thai spice set or a hand-carved coconut bowl to recreate your foodie adventure at home. 

Portugal 

Try this: Pastéis de nata (crispy custard tarts) and Francesinha (Porto’s meaty, saucy sandwich). 

Drink this: A glass of Vinho Verde or traditional Ginjinha (a cherry liqueur served in tiny chocolate cups). 

Take home: A tin of vintage-labelled sardines or a bottle of Portuguese olive oil – delicious and easy to pack. 

Vietnam
