If you are considering travelling but don’t have anyone to go with you, do not be worried about travelling alone. Many people face the same dilemma, do they take the time to travel and experience new things or will they just forget about it because they don’t have any travel buddies and the idea of going alone is too scary. Actually most of us at Xtreme Gap share the same experiences.

The easy way out is to forget about it. If you are worried about travelling alone it can seem too daunting to pluck up the courage to book that flight and go somewhere. Speaking from experience of helping thousands of other travellers who in the same predicament as you are best advice is to not cave in. Being worried about travelling alone does not have to stop you having an amazing trip. We have plenty of group travel adventures where you can join other travellers (most of whom are travelling alone) meaning you will meet many other young people who feel the same way you do. There is no better way to make new friends then to be in the same situation and share the same thoughts and concerns. It’s actually quite fun to know you’re all a bit scared perhaps, but mostly excited.

For sure travelling alone helps you grow and develop as a person, it develops your social skills and really helps you meet new people from all over the world. And isn’t that what travelling is about?

The first thing to consider if you’re planning a trip is what kind of trip is right for you. Whether you are interested in solo female travel or group gap travel. Everyone is different, everyone has different needs. Your first point of call should be to contact us to talk to us about your trip plans, and we can tailor make something amazing for you.

There’s two groups of people: the ones that stay home in the comfort and safety of their friends and environment, or the ones that go out, conquer their fears and create memories that last a lifetime. We hope you choose the latter!

Have a great adventure!
