 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Solo travel can open you up to meeting new people and forging great memories.
• Travel by train allows you to see the world in an eco-friendly way while soaking in beautiful scenery.
• Look for flight and hotel deals separately to find affordable trips without packaged deals.
• The pandemic has made remote work more flexible for people wanting to travel abroad for longer stints. Consider nomadic visas - check the new blog for details.
• House swapping like in The Holiday movie could be an adventurous and cost-effective way to travel.

BEST MOMENTS 

"That is not what travel is about for me, it's about the experiences, the people, the sights, the sounds, the tastes."

"That intergenerational trip, that is kind of marvellous, isn't it? Because, you know, you think when your adult kids are adults, the last thing they want to do is spend time with you." 

"We met so many solo, female travellers, and I think it's not something that anyone should be fearful of, because you'd be surprised you meet a lot of people that are doing the same."
