1 ~~~ The golden rules of solo travel ~~~ 145 We ask our editors and favourite solo travellers for their savviest tips and tricks The joys of travelling solo are endless. There is something truly freeing about exploring new places alone – you can go where you please, eat when you want, and have uninterrupted quality time with yourself. The interest in solo travel has been slowly rising for a while, but new data from UK-based travel organisation ABTA shows that 16 per cent of travellers went on holiday by themselves in 2023, a five per cent increase from the previous 12-month period. Plus, there is a huge increase in solo travel from “those aged 35-44, where solo traveller numbers more than doubled to 13 per cent in 2023 from just 6 per cent in 2022.” Alongside this shift is a need for deeper, slower, more connective travel. For many, solo travel is the perfect way to achieve this – it provides an opportunity to trust your instinct, go with your gut and get lost in the experience. You rely on yourself rather than on others’ whims or desires. But, if you’re not a seasoned solo traveller, it can be a daunting prospect. In an age of constant connectivity, the idea of being alone for an extended period of time is a convoluted one. Below, we spoke to travellers who frequently book solo trips about their golden rules for travelling alone. www.cntraveller.com/article/the-golden-rules-of-solo-travel19 May 2024
