What is the average age to travel alone?

So, you’re wondering about the average age for solo travel, huh? I get it, I really do. It feels like a big step, doesn’t it? Taking that leap and heading off on your own? Well, apparently, the average age is 47. Forty-seven! I’m honestly a bit surprised, maybe it’s a little older than I imagined.

But you know what’s cool? Lots of people who go solo once, go again! That’s what I heard anyway, something about a high satisfaction rate. Makes sense, right? If you love the freedom of it all, why stop at one trip? I mean, my cousin Mary, she went to Italy by herself last year – absolutely loved it. Said she felt so empowered, like she could conquer anything. And now she’s planning a trip to Japan! She’s, like, 52. So clearly, 47 is just a number.

There’s no magic age limit, though. You’re never too young, or too old, for some solo adventure. I remember reading about this amazing 70-year-old woman who backpacked through Southeast Asia! Seriously inspiring. I, myself, am still working up to my first big solo trip. Maybe next year. Maybe Costa Rica. Or maybe Iceland, that northern lights thing is calling to me! Anyway, the point is, it’s all about finding what works for you.
