Whether you’re chasing history, beaches, or the best food of your life, our trips are built for connection. Some of our most popular destinations for solo travelers include:

• Thailand: Street markets, temples, beaches, and that full-moon glow.
• Italy: Pasta, wine, and all the Roman ruins your camera can handle.
• Greece: Island hopping, sunsets, and dance floors that go until sunrise.
• Costa Rica: Zip lines, surf lessons, and pura vida energy.
• Ireland: Cozy pubs, new friends, and maybe a pint (or two) of the black stuff.

• Join the group chat early. You’ll get to know your trip mates before you even land.
• Say yes often. Dinner invites, sunrise hikes, karaoke—these are the moments that make it.
• Pack light. You’ll want room for souvenirs and memories.
• Be open. Travel solo, but stay curious—it’s how new friendships and core memories start.
• Remember: Everyone’s in the same boat (or tuk-tuk).
