single person travel
7 Answers
I'm a single person, female, in her late 30s. I have two weeks leave coming up and would like to go away somewhere. Before I've always stayed in this country but would like to be braver and travel abroad. I'll be going on my own - any tips for companies that cater for single travellers, hotels that don't rip off single people with the single supplement or treat you as a saddo and put you behind a pillar like a leper? (YOu can probably guess I've had problems before).

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Your best bet may be to select a destination then view some hotels on a search engine. Hopefully there will be some with reasonable priced single rooms. Booking online would probably give you better options and information. Also,maybe just B&B then you can choose your dining places for dinner/tea.. Hopefully someone will come up with a company that specialises. Single people are not rare dining out and sunbathing in places i've visited,and are not treated as lepers. Hope you find a suitable spot
Have you thought about one of the adventure companies? Exodus or exploreworldwide are good if you are looking for an adventurous holiday. I think something like 50% of their travellers are single, and they will pair you up with another similar traveller to share with, or you can pay a single supplement. Could be worth having a look at.
ive been round world by myself just go and stay at hostels ie backpackers etc you will meet people straight away and there are loads of people who travelling alone - I have done it in Oz New Zealand Rarotonga Thailand Malaysia Brazil India and you know what you will meet more interesting people that way if you go on a tour you might hate the people and are stuck with hostels you just move on if you dont like it but that never happened to me on any trip India is not for the faint hearted so would do that first! by the way I am female and been doing it since I was early 20's and you will always meet people
