But how do you meet people while solo travelling?
If you’re travelling alone but want to meet people, hostels are the obvious choice.
They’re packed with great social spaces like communal areas, dorms, bars and- if you choose wisely- rooftop terraces, giant hammocks, and pools! Hostels host events, like walking tours, games nights, bar crawls and so much more. As if all that wasn’t enough to convince you that solo travel is never lonely, we’ve upgraded our app and packed it with social features so you can start meeting travellers online before finding those you click with in real life.

Planning your solo travel adventure?
How do you prepare for your solo travel adventure? Planning, spontaneity, or a bit of both?
Mapping out your trip can help you hit the spots you really care about, and you may feel more comfortable with an itinerary if it’s your first solo trip. If you’re more spontaneous, it’s still worth researching an area before you go and getting a rough idea of places or activities you really want to experience. And if plans change? Who cares! Remember, it’s your adventure. You call the shots.
