On a day when all the world\u2019s attention suddenly seems to focus on couples, we\u2019d like to give the stage to another type of love as equally close to our hearts: solo travel. No matter how much you like your home, family or friends, when that wanderlust eventually comes creeping in, travelling solo is a way of satisfying that desire like no other and today we are going to sing its praises, in 7 verses to be precise…<\/p>\n

1. When you’re ready for your trip, you book it! There\u2019s no waiting for other people to get time off work or to coincide with your holiday dates. There\u2019s no packing children\u2019s or partner\u2019s suitcases, laundering or cleaning the whole house in preparation. You have your own tickets, your own suitcase and your own self to look after.<\/p>\n

2. Forced out of your comfort zone and into the unknown, you navigate foreign cities and landscapes, you communicate across language barriers and you laugh with strangers. You realise that you can master this journey alone, and you discover an inner strength.<\/p>\n

3. Besides, you are much more likely to get lost on your own, which might turn out to be the most exciting part of the journey all together ?<\/p>\n

\"Wanderlust
\n4. You embrace your new surroundings in a deliciously selfish way \u2013 no children, friends or partners to compromise or cater for. No need to even make conversation \u2013 you can finally settle down to that book you have been meaning to read all year.<\/p>\n

5. Other times, you chat to people that you never would have bothered to if you\u2019d not been alone. You meet likeminded adventurers and make some of your best and most long lasting friendships on your trip.<\/p>\n

6. You open up to the possibilities of the unknown, and as a result discover parts of yourself that you didn\u2019t even know were there!<\/p>\n

7. You collect endless stories and beautiful memories to share with your friends at home. The wanderlust spreads contagiously and before you know it, the idea of travelling alone has seduced even the most trepid homebirds amongst you.<\/p>\n

To give you some inspiration, we have compiled 6 of our best destinations for solo travellers, from a traditional German spa town to a Balinese yoga retreat. Treat yourself to the holiday that only ??? deserve\u2026<\/p>\n
