With Flavours Holidays, solo travellers are well catered for; however for those needing a little reassurance we have put together our 10 tips we have learnt from our 15 years of travel experience.
Holiday for one – Our Top Ten Travel Tips
1. Get to know your fellow travellers
Get in touch with those on the same flight so you do not have to travel alone. We always offer to put you in touch with other Flavours guests who are on your flight so you can arrange to meet for a coffee at the airport.
2. Enjoy doing something for yourself.
Being selfish doesn’t always come easily to most people who have spent many years looking after others. Sometimes it is really necessary to do things for you and you alone. Always wanted to travel to Italy, or to learn new skills? A single holiday is a great gift to indulge in an activity you have always dreamed of being able to do.
3. Ensure you are travelling with a reputable firm.
Flavours holidays are ATOL protected so our guests can have financial security and peace of mind. This means that you can relax and enjoy your solo holiday to the full!
4. Keep a diary.
You will be surprised at what time away from everything familiar will do for you. There’s nothing like a spot of solo travel to broaden the mind and blow away the cobwebs! It also allows you to take note of all that you learn, for recipes and names of places you visit.
5. Make time for yourself
Enjoy the opportunities solo travel presents – revel in the freedom to enjoy yourself and do exactly as you please!
6. Read our blog
Our blog is full of advice for those going on a single holiday with Flavours; with information on local recipes, culture and top tips it is the perfect thing to get you ready and excited for your solo trip.
7. Ask plenty of questions.
Make sure that before you go, you ask any questions that you may have so you know what you are getting in for and you are at ease. Our experienced team is here for you and are more than happy to give advice and help however they can.
8. Plan ahead
For those feeling a little apprehensive to travel solo for the first time – our holidays provide full itineraries so you do not have to worry about how to fill your time.
9. Don’t worry about being alone.
Our group holidays mean that there are plenty of like-minded people who will soon make you feel at home.
10. Make sure you remember your camera!
Our villas are all located in beautifully scenic Italian countryside, and we do many day trips to various towns and locations. Bringing a camera home full of memories is the best souvenir.
It may be idyllic Tuscany, breathtaking Venice, the stunning Amalfi coast, authentic Puglia or unique Sicily that you are longing for. Whether you would like to cook, paint or try some Pilates under the Italian sun – with our experienced and friendly team, look no further than Flavours!
