TRAVEL: Solo or Single

What’s The Difference Between Traveling Solo or Single??

SOLO travel gives you ultimate freedom to do what you want, when you want and how you want. Typically you determine your itinerary and customize your journey along the way. This is great for those who are brave enough to go it alone and willing to make friends along the way, or for those who are an introvert. This type of travel is much more of a nomadic type of journey giving the traveler complete freedom!

SINGLE travel would be an individual who is looking to travel with other liked-minded individuals on a group adventure. For instance, you are interested in traveling to Alaska to experience the beautiful scenery and take part in the epic outdoor adventures! You would be more interested in signing up for trip where the entire itinerary is planned out for you and travel is accomplished with a group of individuals with a guide.

Why is it so important to understand the difference? As you begin to follow travel sites, you should be following travel blogs and utilizing trip planners based on the type of travel experience you are interested in. As you can imagine, Solo or Single travel would take you on a completely different online journey.

For those who are more interested in SOLO travel, there are some fantastic websites that feature great travel tips like Nomadic Matt or Solo Traveler that provide first-hand accounts of traveling to destinations alone. These sites break down what to expect as a solo traveler, how to plan and prepare for your journey and feature destination highlights through the eyes of a solo traveler.

SINGLE travel, up until now has really not had one online resource that highlights the destinations and trips geared towards traveling with other Single individuals. You have dating sites, events sites, match-up sites and even fitness match-up sites depending on your geographic location. There are travel companies that offer a single supplement on their programs but in addition to paying more for the trip, you are typically traveling with couples making you the extra wheel!
