Guides for Every Kind of Traveler
Different Travelers at a Glance#
Travel looks different for everyone, and one-size-fits-all advice only goes so far. A solo woman in South Asia weighs different considerations than a retired couple in Europe or a family with toddlers in Southeast Asia. These guides address the specific questions each type of traveler faces, not to discourage anyone but to prepare you for what is actually ahead.
- Solo travel is safe and rewarding. The hardest part is booking the first flight.
- Solo female travel works across most of the world, and awareness of local norms prevents the majority of problems.
- Traveling with kids takes more planning than solo, but less than you fear. Children are welcome almost everywhere.
- Accessibility varies enormously by country. Research is essential, but more destinations are possible than most people assume.
- Age is no barrier. The fastest-growing segment of independent travelers is over 50.
- LGBTQ+ safety varies by country. Know before you go, and know which places to avoid.
