Planning a Solo Trip?

Have you ever been on a solo trip or are you thinking about taking your first one?

If you've never traveled solo before, I know that the thought of it can be quite intimidating. You face a lot of fears when you venture out alone — things like getting out of your comfort zone, eating at a table for one, or maybe it's a concern for your safety.

Those are very real fears and things that can cause a lot of anxiety.

If there is one piece of advice that I can give, is that you can overcome these worries, and the fears that you obsess about before you travel will drift away once you arrive at your destination.

You're there and you've got to figure it out — whether that's finding which train to take or how to communicate with a language barrier.

While I wouldn't say it's always easy, traveling solo is SO WORTH IT.

I firmly believe that solo travel is one of the best ways to learn about yourself and the world. Taking a solo trip is a fantastic way to grow. And when it comes to solo travel destinations, the options are endless!

There are few things as liberating and exciting as traveling alone.

Traveling solo changed my life and is the single greatest gift I've ever given myself. Rather than making up excuses not to travel by waiting around for someone to join you, I highly encourage you to book that trip and go.

It doesn't have to be far either — you don't have to go internationally or to a place that speaks another language (you totally can, if you want!), but if you want to get your feet wet, taking a weekend trip domestically by yourself might just be what you need.

Being able to do what you like when you like is something that is often underrated. When it comes to solo travel, you can choose whether you want to sleep in, fill your day with activities, or treat yourself to a day of getting lost in a beautiful city.

Here are a few articles to inspire your next solo trip:

I'm super curious — have you ever taken a solo trip before? If so, where did you go?

I've written quite a few articles on solo female travel tips and why every woman should venture out on her own but, I'm often asked, "Where is it safe for women to travel solo?"

While there may be some destinations that are safer than others, the world is not as scary as some might think. With a positive attitude and general street smarts, there are plenty of places in the world where you can feel safe and secure on your own.

From the U30X Co-Founders:

Hey Under30Experiences, we can't believe it... this month our travel community turns ten years old!

Our very first trip ran in Iceland Memorial Day Weekend 2012 and ten years after that magical adventure, we're proud to say, we're still staying at Smáratún Eco-Farm, and Addi is still guiding many of our trips.

Since our maiden voyage, we've operated trips in the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Belize, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and New Zealand… and will soon operate our first trips in Croatia, Jordan, and Argentina!

It's hard to believe that we've led nearly 10,000 travelers on life-changing experiences around the world and have collected almost 1,000 Five Star Reviews.

We've had community meetups in most large to mid-size cities in the United States from New York, Chicago, and Los Angles to Charleston, Raleigh Durham, and Seattle. Our community members can stop into any US city with an international airport and make a friend who's also part of the U30X community. The number of lifelong friendships that have formed on Under30 trips is truly remarkable.

Speaking of trusted friends, we have to give a shout-out to our incredible team of local guides who are single-handedly responsible for showing our travelers the time of their lives. We know the pandemic made the last two years extremely difficult, but we're so glad so many of you are back doing a job you love.

And of course, we couldn't have made it through these ten years without the unsung heroes--our office staff--who manages logistics for hundreds of trips each year, and answers travel questions for thousands of first-time travelers. It is their dedication that led us to two consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Private Companies in America.

Even when our community isn't traveling with us, we're proud to share that over the last ten years our blog has received 2.2 million unique views, our podcast received over 250,000 downloads, and The Millennial Travel Guidebook debuted as an Amazon #1 bestseller.

Finally, and most importantly, we're overjoyed by the difference that our travelers' money has made in so many humble communities around the world. Having sustainability projects in rural areas that don't normally have access to high-paying opportunities, truly does make a quantifiable difference in these off-the-beaten-path destinations.

These ten years have been anything but easy, but they've been a heck of a lot of fun! We're more motivated than ever to make a positive impact on our community members, the places we travel, and this incredible planet.

Thank you so much for all your support and for being part of the Under30Experiences family!

Pura vida,

Matt & Jared
