You are single and you want to travel! Maybe some singles have problems with taking the first step for booking a travel because they are shy and travelling alone doesn't look a nice experience. It is just an illusion because there are so many options for singles to make travel to a success.

There are several reasons why singles can have problems with taking the first step for travelling alone. Maybe you lost your partner, you don't have a friend to travel with or you don't know all the opportunities the market offer today for singles. So looking around what you really expect is the first consideration you need to take. Travelling alone has advantages and disadvantages and it is worthwhile to make a balance of the pros and cons.

When singles want to travel they can first search a friend for travelling together or choosing for a group travel. This last one is preferable if you have trouble with making friends or you don't want to plan very much. Touring in group is really wonderful. Other people are often curious and don't hesitate talking to you. This can be the start for making friends during your travel and maybe you will soon plan to travel together in the future.

Touring in group is a popular system of travelling for singles. A guide will show you the most interesting places of a certain city or country and making social contact is quite easy. Everyone in the group is interested in the destination and you can gain a lot of knowledge by sharing ideas. Maybe most of the members of your group are married couples; there is no reason to feel lonely. Most travellers will talk to you and share travel experiences or other interests with you.

Maybe your budget is a problem. Touring in group is more expensive than booking a flight and hotel. This kind of travelling includes often a certain program and often you are obligated to pay for most of these excursions no matter if you stay in your hotel or not. However, travelling in group is more expensive; there is plenty of choice and can be done for almost every budget.

This is a must read for anyone thinking of traveling alone for the first time (or even repeated offenders, too)! :o) I wish I knew to take on travel insurance before I started traveling in the 90's.... Thanks a bunch for another great read, Erik! :o)
