There’s no better time than your 20s to embark on a solo adventure – and these small-group Culture Trips will take all the hassle out of it.
The world’s your oyster when you’re in your 20s. You’re hopefully free of major commitments and responsibilities, and even if your friends aren’t willing to join, you have the freedom to forge your own path and meet new people wherever you like. These small-group trips, all bookable with Culture Trip, give you the opportunity to join like-minded travellers on once-in-a-lifetime adventures, ranging from the sunny Croatian coast all the way to the jungles of Sri Lanka.
Swim by waterfalls and take a local cooking masterclass in Bali
If a tropical island with a mix of lush jungle, fabulous beaches and buzzing nightlife sounds like the perfect solo trip, look no further than Bali, the Indonesian island that draws yogis and beach bums the world over. Culture Trip’s 12-day adventure takes you to some of Bali’s most beautiful spots– one day you’ll be swimming in rock pools at the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, the next you’ll be learning the secrets of traditional Balinese cuisine in a cooking masterclass. You’ll also get to experience a traditional Balinese blessing ceremony, surf, and hike up an active volcano at sunrise.
Hike in the Caucasus and learn about ancient winemaking in Georgia
Most people spend their 20s visiting the obvious destinations, the same old bucket-list, must-see places plastered over your Instagram, but nothing gives you travel kudos quite like being the first of your friends to discover somewhere new and exotic. Our nine-day Georgia trip takes you to the heart of one of the world’s most underrated destinations. You’ll get to explore the country’s remarkably beautiful landscapes, from trekking the luscious forests of Lagodekhi National Park to hiking to the postcard-worthy Gergeti Church high in the Caucasus Mountains. Relax the muscles with a well-earned soak in Tbilisi’s sulphur baths before getting stuck into the country’s ancient culinary cultures by sampling home-baked bread at a local family home and learning about Georgia’s ancient winemaking techniques.
