Your journey, our community. Travel solo, together.
Imagine traveling on your own, yet never feeling alone. All Good Life Abroad programs are welcoming and inclusive of solo travelers, with built-in community, shared housing, and local support that make it easy to connect. On select dates in certain cities, we also offer Solo Traveler Sessions, designed specifically for those arriving on their own. Whether you choose a Month-Long Signature or Two-Week Short Stay program, you'll enjoy thoughtfully planned community events, local support, and plenty of time to roam freely and define your own pace.
Think of it less as a trip, and more as life abroad with just enough structure to help you connect, explore, and feel at home.
Your Experience Always Includes
Regardless of which eligible city or date you choose, all Solo Traveler Sessions include:
A furnished apartment with a fully stocked kitchen or kitchenette, Wi-Fi, weekly cleanings, utilities and more included.
Local living — apartments in residential areas near transit and local life.
2–3 curated community events per week: walking tours, local meals, happy hours, etc.
Weekly optional excursions or day trips.
Local support via your Community Manager (English speaking).
Personalized recommendations (restaurants, markets, hidden gems).
Travel health/insurance guidance (you are responsible for securing your coverage, but we’ll help you choose).
Why Travel Solo with Us?
Designed for those who love the freedom of solo travel but also crave community, these special programs run alongside our regular programs in specific destinations — but are reserved exclusively for those traveling on their own. That means every program you book with us guarantees:
Curated Community Events
Meet other solo travelers in structured yet optional meetups - perfect whether you want to socialize or have space.
No Couples or Groups
Every participant travels solo, creating a welcoming environment where it’s effortless to meet others on the same journey.
Local Community Manager
A local point person appointed to help you feel grounded, supported, and safely connected.
Cultural Immersion & Independent Time
Scheduled experiences like walking tours and local workshops, balanced with days to explore on your own.
Your Apartment
Designed for comfort, connection, and peace of mind.
Your home abroad is more than just a place to sleep - it’s the foundation for a meaningful solo experience. Each apartment in our Solo Traveler Sessions is hand-selected with solo travelers in mind, blending comfort, safety, and authentic local living.
You’ll stay in a safe, centrally-located neighborhood, close to cafés, shops, and local landmarks — always with easy access to public transportation and city highlights.
All apartments have:
Updated furnishings
Fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes
Updated amenities
WiFi & Smart TV
Comfortable living spaces
Included utilities
All participants live in the same apartment building — or, in some destinations, across two nearby buildings. This setup makes it easy to connect organically through daily encounters, shared routines, and spontaneous plans, while still maintaining privacy.
Every property is vetted for safety, convenience, and quality, so you can focus on what really matters: exploring the city, building confidence abroad, and enjoying your solo adventure without worry.
