Travelling abroad has often been associated with going with your family, friends, colleagues etc.

However, the trend beyond the universal ‘Gap Year’ appears to be increasing year on year.

Many friends of mine would once say to me that “no way can I go on holiday on my own”.

However since the drop in air fares, introduction of hostels, Airbnb and numerous online flights/accomodation and transfer companies.

It has made the once seen ‘lonesome’ idea of going on holiday on your own to actually something quite envied upon. The world is a much more accessible place that people now feel more safe to venture around.

Places that might appear quite remote and ‘out of bounds’, no longer are seen as ‘no go zone’s’. On the contrary it is now reported that the individual traveller is increasing more and more.

It would be great to hear of some places that people have visited on their own and share some advise on how you got on. Ideas from hotels, hostels, transport, flights, destinations etc would be great.
