Solo Travel

Travelling solo is more about seeing yourself in a new light rather than alone time. Wander the streets of Cusco in Peru or go backpacking through Vietnam. Either way, you will find it to be a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. With maximum flexibility schedules and minimum compromises, solo travellers set their own pace, let their passions guide them, and have an open and curious disposition. Explore destinations, get tips on female solo travel safety, and start planning your first (or next) adventure. All available through One Planet Journey’s domain specialists.
