Intrepid Travel

First time looking at Intrepid — open to any trip, bit nervous about going solo

Advice

Hi everyone, I'm looking at booking an Intrepid trip for later this year and honestly pretty nervous about it. I've never done group travel or travelled solo before, always been with family or friends.

I'm 24 and open to any destination really. If you have a trip booked and wouldn't mind an extra person tagging along, would love to hear what you've got planned.

Also any general tips for first timers would be amazing. Thanks!

Don't be nervous about booking solo, so many people do exactly this. I've done a few trips now and there's always other solo travelers in the group, you're never actually alone unless you want to be.

My advice would be start with a trip that has good reviews and a mix of activities so you're not stuck on a bus the whole time. The group dynamic forms really quickly on these trips.

I'm booked on the Italy Real Food Adventure leaving in September, been on 4 Intrepid trips before. Happy to answer any questions you have!

Italy's a great first trip because it's not too far from comfort zone but still feels like a proper adventure.

Thank you both! That's really helpful. I'm looking at Greece or Italy now, those seem like good starting points.
