See the world through your eyes, your story, your solo travel adventure.

Solo Travel!

Independent adventures & solo travel

Travelling on your own, but never alone.

Whether you’re flying solo by choice, ticking off a bucket list while your partner stays home, or simply craving some ‘me time’ with the option of great company along the way, we’ve got you.

Our independent solo tours and holiday options are perfect for those who want to explore the world on their own terms – with the freedom to set your pace, plus the comfort of a group when you want it. You might be keen on a guided small group tour, a women-only journey, a solo cruise with no single supplement, or a tailored trip with your own space at the end of each magical day. However you want to travel, we’ll match you with the experience that makes it feel easy, safe and unforgettable.

From culinary walking tours through Italy, to sailing in Croatia, to dancing across the temples of Thailand, these trips are made for connection – with places, with people, and most importantly, with yourself.

Explore our handpicked selection of solo travel deals, independent tour packages, and cruises below to find your next great escape. 

So go on, plan that big trip. Just for you.

Choose the way you travel

Your own room, no extra cost

Join tours designed just for solo travellers—your own room, no single supplement. Travel solo, stay social, and connect with like-minded explorers on dedicated departures.

Happy to share

Skip the single supplement by sharing a room with a same-gender traveller on select tours. It’s a great way to save—and maybe meet your travel twin along the way.

Your own space, your own pace

Prefer the comfort of your own room? Choose the single supplement option—join the group by day, unwind in your private retreat by night.

My travel career started in South Africa in the early 1990s and I have been involved in many different aspects of the travel industry since then. I thoroughly enjoy the diversity travel offers, especially learning about new and exciting destinations. I am very people focused and thrive on planning the perfect holiday experiences for my clients.

I've always loved travelling because the world is filled with such incredible beauty, diversity and unforgettable experiences. My roots are in Switzerland, but my own travel story truly began with a life-changing trip to New Zealand - so it feels especially meaningful that I now get to call this amazing country home. Last year, I moved to New Zealand to be with my Kiwi partner, and I’ve loved discovering more of this beautiful corner of the world ever since.

To date, I’ve explored 56 countries across six continents, with only Antarctica left on my bucket list. I’m a curious, adventurous and active traveller who enjoys connecting with different cultures, uncovering history and soaking up the atmosphere of vibrant cities. From exploring Europe’s great capitals and finding hidden treasures on a scenic road trip to experiencing wildlife, landscapes and nature up close, I’m always excited about what’s next.

I’ve spent around 16 years working in the travel industry in a range of roles, but being a travel consultant is where I truly feel at home. It combines everything I enjoy most: travel, organisation, careful planning and above all, helping people bring their dream holidays to life. I’m passionate about creating personalised travel experiences that reflect each client’s interests, style and needs because every trip should feel unique.

Whether you’re dreaming of iconic European cities like London, Paris, Rome or Vienna, cruising the oceans or rivers of the world, relaxing on a tropical beach in Fiji or Rarotonga, road-tripping through Ireland, heading out on safari in South Africa, Namibia or Kenya or standing in awe at Angkor Wat in Cambodia - I’m here to help you plan it all.

Let’s create an unforgettable journey together.
