The benefits of solo travel are numerous, with the opportunity to forge new friendships high on the list. For many, solo travel gives the opportunity to finally visit those bucket-list destinations that maybe you haven\u2019t found a willing travel partner for before. Perhaps you have always dreamed of seeing Machu Picchu or to cruise the Nile but haven\u2019t yet made the journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Away from friends and family you will find a new sense of self, and the confidence to make new friends and connections that you might otherwise have missed. And traveling solo on a luxury guided tour offers the ultimate combination of independence and security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Discover this on: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/ours\/treasures-of-the-incas\">Treasures of the Incas<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/tours\/elegance-of-the-nile\">Elegance of the Nile<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8044\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8044\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-345x230.jpg 345w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/0059EULG2018-1320x881.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8044\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">www.cotswoldpictures.co.uk<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Like-minded travelers make great friends<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When traveling solo with a guided tour you will join a group of like-minded travelers meaning that, from the start, you are alongside people with similar interests.
