Singles travel to be alone!
Whenever I thought of singles travel, a big cruise ship immediately came to mind.
The ship not just symbolically as a safety net for singles from all over the country. More like a parallel world where you don't have to wonder whether the person across from you is single.
Actually, traveling with that knowledge is quite nice: no awkward situations at the hotel bar waiting to happen. Situations where you get turned down with a charming smile, just before the partner of the target you were eyeing rushes into the bar freshly showered, hotel key card in hand, and it hits you in that moment:
Singles travel to stay single!
Damn, I should have checked out that singles travel site.
I'm aware that singles trips don't only take place on a cruise ship, but also while hiking in South Tyrol, all-inclusive on the Turkish Riviera, or on a totally trendy city break to Barcelona.
I'd go so far as to say that in today's society, singles trips are stigmatized with pity. If you tell a coworker, for example, that you're blowing your vacation this year on a singles trip, you often get a snort followed by a pitying look.
So what are the obvious advantages of singles travel? Apart from the automatic transparent Post-it on your forehead that says I'm single.
Singles trips are the latest trend
I think one advantage is getting some time with yourself.
When you join a singles trip, ideally you leave your partner behind. Which can be extremely positive, especially on vacation. You should also leave your friends at home.
You can make good use of the time between shared breakfasts, water polo tournaments in the pool, and climbing pyramids together to finally dive into that new book, go for a massage, or the like. If you do want company after all, you seek out the tour group.
So you should think more about the destination itself, because singles trips don't mean you've landed at an all-inclusive dating site. It's more about looking for a place to relax with like-minded people. Nothing can really go wrong on trips like this.
Look, every participant on the trip has at least two things in common with you, no matter what. For one, the person across from you is single, and for another, they're on the same vacation as you.
So if that isn't the ideal basis for an outstanding love?
