Solo Travel Groups for Nomads
The popularity of digital nomads has risen since the COVID-19 pandemic, but the concept has been around for years prior. With the widespread availability of Wi-Fi networks, even in remote locations, blending work and travel has never been easier. The program, Remote Year, brings together digital nomads for one-month, four-month, or 12-month travel programs throughout Asia, Europe, South America and Africa. Having participated in a year-long program in 2018, I can attest to its life-altering impact. The ability to work remotely while traversing the globe, residing in new cities each month, and immersing oneself in local cultures is an invaluable experience.
Other companies like Selina and Outsite offer hostel-style accommodations coupled with full-scale co-working spaces, fostering a communal atmosphere ideal for digital nomads seeking both productivity and social interaction. Both companies have locations worldwide and allow visitors to book anywhere from a few nights to a few months. They also organize weekly group events onsite as well as outings for those interested in experiencing local cultural activities.
Solo Travel Groups by Age
For those seeking shorter yet equally enriching experiences, numerous companies specialize in age-specific tours, facilitating connections with like-minded peers. Contiki caters to the 18-35 age bracket, offering themed tours such as festival travel, island hopping adventures, and gap year odysseys. G Adventures offers a global array of tours tailored to various age groups, including exclusive programs for 18-to-Thirty-somethings, families, and their new Geluxe premium active adventures. Trafalgar appeals predominantly to travelers above 50, offering diverse tours of varying lengths and group sizes. Specialized tour themes range from castle and knights explorations to battlefield tours and religious pilgrimages.
Solo Travel Groups for Adventure
For travelers eager to maximize their vacation days with solo travel group adventures, look no further than Flash Pack. They offer boutique group adventures for solo travelers aged 30-49, from four to 18 days, across all seven continents. Whether it's white-water-rafting in Chile, desert glamping in Jordan, or rappelling down Table Mountain in South Africa, there's an adrenaline-pumping experience for every adventure-seeking soul.
The name says it all at Surf, Yoga, Beer. They started with a flagship solo travel group program in Nicaragua and have expanded their offering to many locations around the world. They host fitness retreats, yoga retreats, surf holidays, ski trips, hiking and trekking, sailing trips, and more! They promise an inclusive, dynamic atmosphere where no solo traveler feels alone.
