Travelling alone
Last Updated: Nov. 19, 2009

Everyone has different attitudes and opinions and philosophies when it comes to travelling alone. Even amongst those who choose to go it alone there is a mix of feelings with some being a little frightened and nervous while others cannot wait to get out on their own.
In a poll conducted on the Contiki forums, almost 70% of people polled as travelling on tour alone. So even though you start the tour alone, you’re not the only one travelling alone.
The tours are very social so you will definitely meet lots of people.
A lot of people, including past travellers will tell you travelling alone is the only way to travel.
Tour Manager Opinions
“Travelling solo on Contiki is very common. At least a quarter of the coach will be solo travellers. No one is left alone, you are in a situation where you cannot help but be introduced to and meet people. After a couple of days you start to notice that everyone is becoming friends and its like a big family travelling together.”
by – Glen Jupp, Tour Manager, Europe
“Travelling solo on Contiki is probably the best way to do it – my advice is to get out there, get involved, do all the excursions and meet as many people as possible – and I guarantee you will have the time of your life.”
by – Michael Thomas, Tour Manager, Europe
“A perfect way to travel with Contiki. From the Airport to your first hotel you may be alone, however you will soon be surrounded by like minded travellers with the same interests as you. This way you have the option to take time to appreciate time spent by yourself, or make new life long friend to share you memories with. All in all the option is yours.”
by – Brek Colling, Tour Manager, Europe
“Contiki is a great way to travel solo! You just have to be a little bit adventurous at the beginning and open minded the whole time. Don’t ask for a single room, do a Concept Tour and mix up room mates to make new friends. So many people come on tours afraid that they will be alone but end up making friends for life.”
by – Kirsten Bain, Tour Manager, Europe
“An awesome way to go. Too often when travelling wıth frıends, it can become very comfortable staying close to the people you know well… which ıs great for some, but goıng it alone, you quite often see more, get to know more people, jump outside your comfort zone, and never stop smiling…. even if you think your not that type of person. 2 weeks on a Contiki coach is like knowing someone for 2 years at home.”
by – David Semmens, Tour Manager, Europe
“It’s awesome because you will be in similar company and it’s way easier to meet new people and make new friends – Just be willing to get involved.”
by – Erin Robertson, Tour Manager, Europe

Greetings from Cape Town to all you peeps out there. I’ve seen people post comments about traveling alone and looking for travel mates so I guess i’ll try and do the same…maybe I get lucky ;) I’m thinking about traveling to USA 26 day tour from the 17th December 2009 from NY to LA or vice versa. Anyone thinking about doing the same trip, contact me and maybe we can chat a bit and share ideas :) adoo1@telkomsa.net P.s.. the “oo” in my email address are alphabets and not zeros :) thanx. cheers.

I plan to travel alone on a contiki trip some time next year. I was telling my brother all about it before, and how I would plan my own itinerary and see more of the places I wanna see if I had somebody to travel with. Contiki tours offer a place for people to go it alone and at least get some foreign experience. I can’t wait to organize a trip and get to mingling with other travellers.

Hi I’m a 19 year old Aussie girl, i’m travelling solo with contiki in September and was wondering if anyone else is going on the Mykonos Island Crusing tour from the 7th to 14th and Eastern Road from the 19th to 30th? I’m hoping to meet a few people to travel with in between these dates and head to Oktoberfest after the Eastern Road, does anyone have similar plans?

I’m planning my first trip to Egypt in November (alone) and I just can’t wait!!! Some of friends have done the same tour previously and they absolutely LOVED it! My friends here in London all seem keen to join me but only time will tell if they actually make the effort and book a tour. Either way, I’m going … :-)

I will be travelling to Europe for the first time in May alone and I’m really looking forward to it. After reading this article and other’s comments, I have become even more excited to make the trek solo!

I went on the Europe 21 day camping tour in 04 alone and it was the best thing I ever did. I met so many ppl and was able to do things/be someone I couldn’t be around my friends. I enjoyed it so much I’m doing the Great Northern (USA) in a few weeks, on my own again :)

Traveling alone, I toured 13 countries in Europe and Egypt with Contiki. I was unsure at first, but once I meet others on the tour I felt right at home. In fact, we got along so great 5 of us decided to continue traveling together! I would do it again in a heart-beat.

I am totally psyched to start travelling. I will be going it solo as all my friends have other agendas. I was excited to learn at a recent travel show-where I learned about Contiki, that solo travel is not uncommon. I guess if you don’t ask, you don’t know!

I went on two Concept/Budget tours alone this year: Scandinavia & Russia from 23 June to 24 July and European Contrasts from 2-30 Aug. I actually had no choice but to go it alone, because all my close friends were busy with University/College, but it didn’t stop me from getting out there & meeting new people – something I’ve never quite done before. I went with an open mind expecting to have great experiences, which I did, and the memories will stay with me forever. Plus, I made life-long friends along the way! That’s the nature of Contiki.

I went on the Louis Cruise Lines Aegean Classic alon last summer (06). I met some wonderful people (some of which I still keep in contact with). there were a number of other poeple travelling alone, but even those travelling with friends were very friednly. I liked it so much, that I am going on the London + Paris trip next week (alone again).
