Solo Travel!
See the world through your eyes, your story, your solo travel adventure.
Independent adventures
Travelling on your own, but never alone.
Whether you’re flying solo by choice, ticking off a bucket list while your partner stays home, or simply craving some ‘me time’ with the option of great company along the way, we’ve got you.
Our independent travel options are perfect for those who want to explore the world on their own terms – with the freedom to set your pace, plus the comfort of a group when you want it. You might be keen on a guided small group tour, a women-only journey, a cruise with no single supplement, or a tailored trip with your own space at the end of each magical day. However you want to travel, we’ll match you with the experience that makes it feel easy, safe and unforgettable.
From culinary walking tours through Italy, to sailing in Croatia, to dancing across the temples of Thailand, these trips are made for connection – with places, with people, and most importantly, with yourself.
There are a variety of tours, cruises and experiences that cater for those travelling on your own. Check out some of our favourites solo deals or holidays below!
So go on, plan that big trip. Just for you.

Happy to share
Skip the single supplement by sharing a room with a same-gender traveller on select tours. It’s a great way to save—and maybe meet your travel twin along the way.
Your own space, your own pace
Prefer the comfort of your own room? Choose the single supplement option—join the group by day, unwind in your private retreat by night.

Having travelled extensively I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in the rich culture of any country I am fortunate enough to visit. Travel is my passion and I love helping clients create an unforgettable experience that is uniquely their own.
I genuinely believe that travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. I enjoy being part of each and every journey. No day is the same in the life of a travel consultant and I relish the challenge that this represents. I am flattered by the number of clients who have come back to me time and time again.
Having travelled to nearly 50 countries, my bucket list is still never ending. I have backpacked my way through the world in my youth as well as enjoying five star luxury in more recent times. I have definitely felt richer from each and every experience. Travel is a way of life, I love what I do and that passion and enthusiasm always translates into the work I put into my clients plans.
