2024: The Year of The Solo Traveller

In our world, we've declared 2024 as the Year of the Solo Traveller, and why not? It just feels right to cast the spotlight on solo travellers and declare it as your year to embark on a solo journey for the first time (or again). It's about stepping out alone, leaving the comforts of home, and discovering the untapped freedoms and excitement that solo travel has to offer. Let this be the year you embrace the world on your terms and redefine the art of solo exploration. 

We coined the phrase ‘Solos Only’ and we celebrate it with you. Happy New Year. Your adventure awaits!
