How to Make Friends While Traveling Solo

By Nadine   |   Posted Jul 20, 2026

Small Group Tours Make It Easy

If meeting people feels intimidating, small group tours are one of the easiest ways to break the ice.

Instead of trying to strike up conversations with strangers in a cafĂ©, you’re spending several days exploring together, sharing meals, and experiencing unforgettable moments as a group. Friendships tend to happen naturally when everyone is there for the same reason.

One of the things that makes The Solo Travel Collection different is that the connections start long before you ever board the plane. Before each trip, you’ll meet your travel group virtually and join a group chat where everyone can introduce themselves, ask questions, share packing tips, and start getting to know one another.

By the time departure day arrives, you’re not walking into a room full of strangers. You’re meeting women you’ve already laughed with, chatted with, and started building connections with.

That sense of community doesn’t end when the trip is over, either. Through The Solo Travel Collection’s community, many travelers stay connected long after they return home, sharing photos, celebrating milestones, swapping travel recommendations, and even planning future adventures together.

You’re Never Really Traveling Alone

The funny thing about solo women travel is that while you start the journey on your own, you rarely stay alone for long.

Whether it’s chatting with a local shop owner, bonding with another traveler over coffee, or laughing with new friends during a group excursion, the world has a way of bringing people together.

If you’d like a little extra support on that journey, The Solo Travel Collection is built around the idea that travel is even more meaningful when it’s shared. From meeting your group before departure, to staying connected in a group chat throughout the experience, to becoming part of a welcoming community after the trip, you’ll discover that solo travel doesn’t have to mean traveling alone.

Next up, we’ll wrap up this beginner series with the most common solo travel mistakes first-time travelers make, and how you can avoid them so your first adventure is as smooth and memorable as possible.
