Thinking about travelling solo but not sure if it’s really for you? This episode might just change your mind.
Whether you’re newly single, have a partner who doesn’t like to travel, or simply have a place on your bucket list that none of your friends fancy — solo travel is more accessible, less intimidating, and more rewarding than you might think.
In this episode, host Hayley Sparkes is joined by Riviera Travel’s Solo Travel Specialist, Linda Harris.
With years of experience helping thousands of people take the leap into their first solo holiday (and doing plenty herself!), Linda shares the secrets behind Riviera’s booming Solo Exclusive trips — and why their guests come home with new friendships, unforgettable memories… and usually plans to do it all again.
You’ll discover:
- What makes a “Solo Exclusive” holiday different from a regular group trip (and why it matters)
- How Riviera guests go from nervous to totally at ease — often within hours
- The surprising part of solo travel most guests say is the best bit (hint: it’s not the destination)
- How solo holidays can be affordable — and what’s really included
- What if you want some social time, but also space to recharge?
- Who goes on solo trips? The real answer might surprise you
- Is this a dating holiday? (Spoiler: No!) But romantic connections have happened...
- What Riviera takes care of — and why guests love handing over the planning
- Linda’s final advice to anyone still sitting on the fence
