I've done a lot of solo travel (not on package trips, just travelling on my own) and I really enjoy the freedom it gives me. One of my best tips is to make definite plans for the evenings so you aren't tempted to just retreat to your hotel room – go to a film, concert or show, visit a exhibition or museum that's open in the evening, book up an evening walking tour or wine tasting, visit a local gym for an exercise class or swim. Hope that helps.

I'm a happily married woman in my fifties, but my husband just doesn't enjoy holidays like I do. We do one joint trip a year, usually in the UK, but I was getting frustrated by this, I wanted to see the world! About 4 years ago I started taking singles trips. At first I was nervous that I would feel out of place but soon discovered that many of the people on singles holidays are in couples, but are travelling alone for different reasons. So I'd recommend booking a singles holiday even if you aren't single, but are just taking a holiday alone.
