Solo travel is too dangerous. It's lonely. It's expensive. It's only for young people. Every single one of these is wrong here's the evidence.
Solo travel carries more myths per square kilometre than almost any other lifestyle choice. Most of them are either outdated, exaggerated, or simply wrong. Here are the seven we hear most often and why none of them should stop you.
Myth 1: It's too dangerous
The world is not more dangerous than your parents think it is. Statistically, the most dangerous thing most people do is commute to work. The destinations that attract solo travellers Southeast Asia, Japan, Southern Europe, Morocco have well-established tourism infrastructure and are visited by millions of solo travellers safely every year.
Myth 2: You'll be lonely the whole time
Loneliness exists on solo trips. It is not the dominant experience. Structured group travel like Navaro eliminates it almost entirely you have company whenever you want it, and solitude when you need it.
Myth 3: It's more expensive than travelling with others
Solo travel has costs single supplements being the main one. But you also have complete control over your spending. No compromise on restaurants, activities or accommodation. Many solo travellers find they spend less because every decision is theirs.
Myth 4: It's only for young people
Our travellers range from 24 to 62. The best solo travellers are often in their 30s and 40s old enough to appreciate what they're seeing, financially stable enough to do it properly, and independent enough to enjoy their own company.
- ✦Myth 5: You need to speak the local language you don't
- ✦Myth 6: Solo travel is selfish it's actually deeply formative
- ✦Myth 7: It's something you do once most people become serial solo travellers
