You can bond with other solo female travellers <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so TruTravels\u2019 trips are ideal for every type of traveller, but since I fall into the \u201csolo female traveller&#8221; category, I\u2019m going to speak to why they\u2019re so great for us independent gals in particular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, more than half the people who book with TruTravels are female, and a huge portion of the company\u2019s customers are solo travellers (70% to be exact). In other words, you\u2019re virtually guaranteed to meet other solo travellers on your tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, as women, we have a unique set of precautions to think about when we travel. Whether it\u2019s dress codes or determining the safest way to get from point A to point B, there are so many additional things we need to be aware of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelling with a group provides extra peace of mind so you can throw a little more caution to the wind and make the most of every second of your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, there\u2019s no denying the effect a life-altering trip can have on your female friendships. When I think of my closest friends (many of whom I\u2019ve met while travelling), it\u2019s the adventures we experienced together \u2014 temple-hopping in Bangkok, standing in awe of the Taj Mahal, sipping local wine at a vineyard in Cape Town \u2014 that solidified our unshakable bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who doesn\u2019t have any siblings, I\u2019m eternally grateful for all those friends who now feel more like sisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"\/o\/trutravels#countries=79?utm_medium=referal&amp;utm_source=days-to-come&amp;utm_campaign=clicks-on-internal-links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/indonesia2019NW-oct-080-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Two women posing infront of beautiful landscapes in Indonesia\" class=\"wp-image-28108 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/indonesia2019NW-oct-080-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/indonesia2019NW-oct-080-min-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/indonesia2019NW-oct-080-min-434x326.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/indonesia2019NW-oct-080-min-868x651.jpg 868w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/indonesia2019NW-oct-080-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Find your people on a group tour | \u00a9 TruTravels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. You\u2019ll make new friends effortlessly (even if you\u2019re an introvert)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favourite aspects of travelling with a group tour is how easy it is to make friends. When you travel solo and want to make pals, you have to put yourself out there and strike up conversations with strangers, which can certainly be intimidating \u2014 especially if you identify as an introvert (hi, that\u2019s me!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you travel with a group, on the other hand, you don\u2019t even have to try to make friends \u2014 it just happens organically. After all, when your daily schedule consists of unreal activities like white water rafting in Peru or dancing \u2018til dawn on the beaches of Thailand, it\u2019s almost impossible not to become fast friends with your tour mates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"\/o\/trutravels#countries=138?utm_medium=referal&amp;utm_source=days-to-come&amp;utm_campaign=clicks-on-internal-links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/philippines2019NW-april-047-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Two people zipling over the beach in the Philippines\" class=\"wp-image-28109 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/philippines2019NW-april-047-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/philippines2019NW-april-047-min-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/philippines2019NW-april-047-min-434x326.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/philippines2019NW-april-047-min-868x651.jpg 868w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/philippines2019NW-april-047-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It&#8217;s easy to make fast friends on tour when you&#8217;re sharing epic experiences like this | \u00a9 TruTravels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/travelling-southeast-asia-trutravels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tips From my Tour Guide for Travelling Southeast Asia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.
