Travelling goes hand in hand with a sense of adventure, and according to 2020 Condor Ferries research, 40% of Baby Boomers went on vacation on their own last year. However, if don’t feel like you’re ready for that, don’t worry - here is some advice that can help you!

1. Look for travel agencies that offer trips or expeditions. That is how Susan started with her trip to Antarctica. “If you are nervous to fly on your own and land somewhere new, that could be a perfect way to start,” she says.
2. If you are just starting out, you don’t have to go very far. “Maybe there is an amazing place three hours away from your home, or you could take a long weekend retreat to the countryside,” Susan suggests.
3. Lastly, remember that alone does not mean lonely! “I made so many friends because people would see me alone and come up and start talking,” Susan admits. “So, that was the big learning experience from all my travels.”
