Roam Alone: Inspiring tales by reluctant solo travellers

Following on the heels of To Oldly Go!, one of the UK’s best-selling travel titles of 2015, this new unique title from Bradt celebrates solo travellers, who now make up one third of all those embarking on escorted holidays. Many are older people who are widowed or divorced and facing the prospect of travelling alone for the first time. Others are retired people, or those taking a gap year, planning a seriously adventurous trip lasting several months which, by necessity, they will have to do alone. What they all have in common is anxiety: it takes courage to travel alone, especially if you are used to the companionship of a partner or friend.
