THE BENEFITS OF SOLO TRAVEL

Your solo travel adventure starts here

The world is fast catching on to the benefits of travelling alone, and we’re seeing higher numbers than ever embarking on a solo travel adventure. From meeting new people to building your confidence, there are a multitude of reasons a solo travel adventure can be transformative.

At Flash Pack, we believe that solo travel doesn’t need to mean travelling alone. Our aim is to bring together like-minded people in their 30s and 40s for adventurous trips full of ‘can’t-do-by-yourself’ experiences, always with a touch of luxury. Interested?

MEET INTERESTING NEW PEOPLE

Travelling solo often means you’ll be more likely to interact with new people, including locals. These interactions can sometimes lead to long-term friendships, too.

People often feel nervous to travel alone for fear they will be lonely or isolated. The idea of striking up a conversation can be daunting, but within a few hours of travelling alone, those fears fall by the wayside. Groups and other solo travellers are always keen to chat and build connections. You’ll also likely chat with locals who can teach you so much more about a destination.

Meeting new people is one of the most talked about benefits of travelling alone, and for good reason. There are an endless number of stories of people who’ve met travelling and ended up making friends for life.

FIND YOUR GROUP

INCREASE YOUR CONFIDENCE

Building your confidence is one of the most valuable benefits of travelling alone. Jetting off on a solo trip will push you beyond your comfort zone and bring with it a huge sense of achievement.

Not only will you have the chance to meet other like-minded people but you also get to share extraordinary experiences, like learning to salsa with locals in Cuba or wildlife-spotting in the Amazon from a remote jungle lodge in Peru.

BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE

LEARN MORE ABOUT YOURSELF

It’s hard to switch off in the modern world. With social media, instant messaging and video calls, we almost never get the chance to sit alone with our thoughts.

Travelling alone is the perfect opportunity to do exactly that. Being alone in a new place allows you to slow down and think clearly without the distractions of home or others. You’ll be more in the moment and, as a result, in tune with what you do and don’t enjoy and how you want to spend your time.

Embracing being alone is one of the most powerful benefits of solo travel – it really can be a journey of self-discovery.

STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

When you travel with people you know, it’s easy to stay within your comfort zone. You can miss opportunities to experience new things, and ultimately grow as a person.

GET OFF THE BEATEN PATH

When travelling alone, it’s easy to get off the beaten path and explore your chosen destination in depth. When you’re on a solo trip, you have the freedom to go wherever the wind takes you without the need to convince any of the other people in your group.

Use the opportunity of travelling solo to go where interests you and don’t get drawn into just sticking to the usual tourist spots. So, where will it be? The deserts of Jordan, the wilds of Patagonia or a private island in the Philippines?
