Solo travel has never been so popular, especially with midlifers. Group itineraries are becoming more exciting, with no single supplements, so it’s simpler than ever to travel alone. And with independent hotel chains and platforms such as Airbnb offering activities where you can buddy up with like-minded holidaymakers, what are you waiting for?
The female-only getaway
Gutsy Girls is a community-based group holiday company aimed at nature-loving women seeking adventure through short retreats and weekends away. Guests are encouraged to go beyond their comfort zones, meet new friends, and embrace adventure on short trips abroad.
One of the most exciting is a hiking and yoga weekend spent exploring two of Norway’s national parks. Staying at Venabu Mountain Hotel, daily yoga sessions are held outside by a nearby lake. The fresh Norwegian air brings an extra dimension to your exercises, and you’ll return home rejuvenated and full of inspiration.
Book it: from £1,050 for four nights; gutsygirls. co.uk/norway-hiking-and-yoga-adventure-weekend.
