Reasons to Take a Solo Vacation
Solo travel can be one of the most rewarding, empowering, and exciting experiences of your life! Imagine exploring a new city at your own pace, discovering hidden gems, and meeting new people — all on your own terms.
At Pack Up + Go, we make solo travel easy + safe by planning every detail and offering 24/7 in-house traveler support. Still wondering if it’s right for you? Let’s explore four benefits of solo travel that might just convince you to pack your bags and go - alone!
Freedom + Flexibility
One of the best parts of solo travel is the freedom to do exactly what you want, when you want. No need to compromise on activities or schedules—if you want to spend the afternoon strolling through Boston’s historic streets or enjoy a spontaneous coffee in a cozy Seattle café, go for it! Traveling solo means every moment is yours to design, making your adventure more fulfilling and personal.
Self-Discovery
Solo travel isn’t just about discovering new places—it’s also about discovering more about yourself. Navigating a new city, trying new foods, and stepping outside your comfort zone can boost your confidence and independence. Without relying on anyone else, you’ll realize just how capable and resourceful you are. It’s an experience that leaves you feeling empowered long after your trip ends.
Opportunities to Meet People
Traveling alone doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. In fact, solo trips often lead to meaningful conversations with locals and other travelers. Without a travel companion, you’re more likely to strike up conversations and make new friends on one of the excursions Pack Up + Go books for you, like a food tour or walking tour. One of our favorite ways to meet people is by sitting at the bar at a restaurant by yourself - it’s a great way to get local recommendations from the bartenders and other diners!
Time for Yourself
Between work, family, and daily responsibilities, it’s easy to prioritize everyone but yourself. A solo trip is your chance to recharge and focus on what makes you happy. Imagine waking up with no schedule or agenda except exactly what you want to do, when you want to do it. You can spend the day exploring charming neighborhoods, shopping, taking yourself to the spa, or cozying up with a book and taking a nap! It’s time dedicated entirely to you—and you deserve it.
