If you’ve ever stared at a trip itinerary and thought, “This looks amazing… but who will I go with?” — we’ve got news: your travel partners are already waiting for you. You just haven’t met them yet.
At The Travel Yogi, we see it happen every single trip. Strangers roll up to the welcome circle, maybe a little nervous, and by day two, they’re swapping sunscreen, sharing inside jokes, and planning their next adventure together.
Why Solo Travelers Shine in Groups
Traveling solo doesn’t have to mean traveling alone. It means you’ve got the courage to take the leap, and that leap lands you in the middle of a ready-made community. On a yoga adventure, you’ll practice side-by-side, share family-style meals, hike the same trails, and paddle the same waters. It’s the fastest shortcut to friendship we know.
And here’s the secret: everyone else is looking to connect, too. Whether they showed up with a partner, a sibling, or a best friend, the group quickly expands to include everyone. The result? Travel bonds that often outlast the passport stamps.
Where to Find Your People
Not all trips are created equal when it comes to connection. The Travel Yogi adventures that bring people together best are the ones that mix movement, culture, and just the right dose of “pinch-me” wonder. A few coming up that are ripe for new-best-friend-status:
- Italy this October: From charming countryside strolls in Piedmont to chocolate tasting in Turin, you’ll be sharing awe (and plenty of photos) with new friends who “get it.”
- France this October: E-biking past vineyards and drinking wine under the stars, the best way to make new friends — quickly.
- Sri Lanka in March 2026: Morning yoga with ocean breezes, afternoons spotting elephants, and evenings sharing curry feasts. Perfect for trading stories over a cup of world-class tea.
- Croatia in October 2026: Yoga on the Adriatic, island-hopping by boat, and laughter echoing off Dubrovnik’s ancient walls. Bonding guaranteed.
The Friendship Factor
Here’s what we’ve learned after years of guiding yoga travelers: the friendships are as life-changing as the landscapes. You may come for the yoga or the adventure, but you’ll leave with a crew that feels like family.
So if you’ve been hesitating because you don’t have a travel buddy, let this be your nudge.
Book the ticket. Roll out your mat. And get ready to meet your new best friends — the ones who will cheer when you finally nail crow pose, hand you an umbrella in a monsoon, and text you three months later with, “So, where are we going next?”
