You like the freedom of travelling alone. Going where you want. Stopping when something catches your attention. It’s the social side that feels less certain. You don’t want forced friendships or awkward small talk. You don’t want to spend your holiday navigating personalities. You like travelling alone. You just don’t like social roulette. Small, carefully hosted solo holidays designed for independent travellers.
The problem was never the group. It was the purpose.
Most solo trips bring people together and hope chemistry follows. That’s a gamble. We start somewhere different. Each journey has a shared focus. A reason to slow down. A reason to pay attention. Something real to talk about that isn’t just background information.
“It was a perfect solution for a solo traveller … whilst travelling alone I have never felt alone. I have met some amazing people, the groups are brilliant.” — Sara, Cheltenham.
The camera isn’t there to make you a photographer.
Time away matters. And following the crowd rarely reveals much. The camera gives you an excuse to get involved, and something to share when you do. Often it’s just the phone in your hand, and suddenly you’re part of it. No experience required. No pressure to produce anything. You stop feeling like a tourist. You start travelling properly.
The days seem effortless. That’s deliberate. Each experience is chosen to reveal a side of a country most visitors never find. Some zen. Some that’ll make your heart race. And, thankfully, a very good bed at the end of it.
Not for everyone.
These trips are for people who want their holiday to start the moment they arrive. Experiences you actually remember. Good food. Carefully considered days. The kind of travel that leaves you happily tired, not socially drained.
“I’ve not been on a solo or indeed a photography holiday before … so really didn’t know what to expect. I needn’t have worried.” — Stephanie, London.
