For years many women have thought travel to be synonymous with family vacations, romantic getaways, and group tours. What if you discovered your best adventures are still waiting—just for you?

Although you’ll find me in a variety of travel circumstances, I love to mix it up. Green With Renvy has me traveling with my hubs, girlfriends and solo. Honestly, I love each for different reasons. However, there is nothing to compare with the challenge and  and reward you’ll feel going it alone. If you’re a woman with an insatiable curiosity and a desire for new experiences, solo travel might just be the most fulfilling way to explore the world.

My Top Reasons for Experiencing the World on Your Own

Solo Travel has many benefits.

Travel on Your Terms

One of the greatest joys of solo travel is the freedom it offers. No more compromising on destinations, dining choices, or activities. Want to wake up early for a sunrise hike? Prefer to linger in a museum for hours? When you travel alone, every decision is yours to make.

Rediscover Yourself with Solo Travel

After decades of balancing careers, raising families, and meeting responsibilities, solo travel gives you the rare opportunity to focus on yourself. It’s a chance to rekindle old passions, discover new interests, and build confidence as you navigate unfamiliar places on your own.

Make New Connections and Meet People

Travel Solo and meet new people.

Traveling solo doesn’t mean you have to be alone. In fact, it often leads to the most rewarding social interactions. Travel Tip: Take the opportunity to strike up a conversation with a local at a café, join a guided walking tour, or meet fellow travelers in a small-group excursion.  You’ll find solo travel encourages meaningful connections in ways that group travel sometimes does not.

Savor the Peace , Quiet and Time

There’s something incredibly refreshing about being able to enjoy a destination without distractions. Whether it’s sitting in a European plaza with a good book, strolling through a tranquil garden, or watching the sunset over the ocean, solo travel lets you fully immerse yourself in the experience at your own pace.

Going It Alone

The thought of arriving at the airport in a strange country can be anxiety inducing. Having a ride pre-arranged is a welcome relief. One  service I use when going it alone (or any other time I travel) is Welcome Pickups. I’ve used them in 4 different countries and their reliability has been so far 100%. Their user friendly APP will have you arriving in your destination with one worrisome item checked off your list.

Enjoy Personalized Experiences

Many destinations now cater specifically to solo travelers, offering tailored experiences such as boutique accommodations, small-group tours, and even cruises designed for individuals traveling alone.

You can craft an itinerary that aligns perfectly with your interests, whether that means exploring historic sites, indulging in culinary adventures, or embarking on a wellness retreat.

Feel uncomfortable at first? Arrange a tour when you arrive at your destination. Get your Guide is a great service to explore a new destination with your interests at the top of the list.

 Boost Your Confidence and Independence

Solo travel empowers you to rely on yourself, make decisions, and problem-solve in unfamiliar situations. This newfound independence translates into everyday life, making you feel more capable and confident in all aspects of your journey.

Prioritize Self-Care and Well-Being

Taking a solo trip allows you to focus on what truly rejuvenates you, whether it’s a wellness retreat, a yoga getaway, or simply taking time to relax by the beach. Without distractions, you can fully engage in activities that nurture your body and soul.

Experience the World from a New Perspective

Traveling alone lets you absorb your surroundings more deeply, appreciate cultural differences, and engage with locals in a more meaningful way. You’ll likely notice details that might go unnoticed when traveling with others, creating a richer and more immersive travel experience.

 Set Your Own Travel Budget

Solo travel allows you to decide how and where to spend your money. Whether you want to splurge on luxury experiences or find budget-friendly adventures, you have complete control over your expenses, ensuring a trip that aligns with your financial comfort level.

It’s Never Too Late

Some people think solo travel is for the young and fearless, but the truth is, there’s no perfect age to start. In fact, women of all ages are embracing solo travel in growing numbers. With wisdom, life experience, and often the financial means to explore, now is the perfect time to embark on the journey you’ve always dreamed of.

So why wait? Make a plan. Pack your bags, embrace the adventure, and discover the incredible joys of exploring the world on your own terms. After all, the best travel companion you’ll ever have is yourself.
