A Case for a Solocation in Women’s Month

 

If ever there was a time to take a solocation, the time is now. It’s August which not only means the weather is warming up but it’s Women’s Month – a time to show courage, assert your independence, and C the World, through your eyes only.

 

It’s been said, “Traveling alone will be the scariest, most liberating life-changing experience of your life. Try it at least once.” And solocations are the ideal place to start. 

Defined as, a short holiday or weekend getaway that you go on your own, a solocation edges you out of your comfort zone and readies you up for longer solo travel. It forces you to get to know your solo-self, make your own decisions and problem solve on your own. 

 

If you’re starting out as a solocationer, it may feel a little daunting. So it’s a good idea to head off somewhere where you feel safe and relaxed.

Some great general locations were sited in an article Simply Single – 10 Best Spots for Solo Holidays In SA. 

 

The writer mentions Cape Town as being  “the perfect place for singles looking to mingle,” pointing out, “The friendly locals will help you feel right at home at their favourite coffee shops, thumping clubs, top pubs, and gorgeous beaches.” 

 

Piketberg is second on the list, with the suggestion of a farm stay for absolute peace and tranquillity. "There’s little more to do than hang out with your thoughts, read, or walk (in the countryside).” And should you be yearning for a little company, “you could always nip into town for a sundowner with the friendly locals.”

 

Umhlanga, with its  “year-round holiday feel and thriving tourist infrastructure,”  is recommended. You can walk along the promenade in perfect peace, nipping into restaurants and pubs along the way or stop off for a swim and sunbathe on the beach.”

 

And there’s the much loved Midlands Meander – with “no shortage of welcoming B&Bs, plush hotels, and super-friendly locals to show you around.”  With all the wonderful art, food, events, pubs, and outdoor activities in this area, you may well discover that being alone does not mean being lonely. https://www.domesticflights-southafrica.co.za/simply-single-10-best-spots-for-solo-holidays-in-sa/

Finally, we’d like to leave you with the thought that it is, in fact, possible to take a solocation with your perfect partner – one that’s strong, flexible, and always willing to take your lead.
