Solo travel is the most incredible and rewarding experience. We, the founders of Going Solo are solo travelers ourselves, so we understand that the best part of solo travel is the connections made along the way. We believe that making friends abroad should be as easy as sending one message. We know that it can get extremely lonely being on your own in a foreign country, and our mission is to make you feel like you will always have a friend anywhere you go when you have Going Solo app by your side.
If you have been wanting to travel but don't want to go alone, our plans feature is the perfect way to find a trip bff! All you have to do is create or join a travel plan in the app and you have new besties to come along with you! If you're planning a trip but haven't left yet, our trip feature allows you to simply put the destination and travel dates where you plan to go to find people who have saved the same plan.
Going Solo is more than just a travel app, it's an ambitious community who want to see the world but don't want to wait around for others. With Going Solo, you'll never feel alone on your trip, because you will always have a new trip bff. Join our community and create lifelong friendships that will make your travels even more memorable. With Going Solo, you may start your trip solo, but you'll never be alone.

Ratings and Reviews
Best App Ever !! ✨
I have been so lucky to have been in a groupchat since the launch of this app, seeing the whole journey and how hard ashley has worked in order to make her dream a reality whilst helping us all out when solo travelling is truly incredible. The app is so easy to navigate around and super helpful when finding friends in your destination when travelling by yourself, it also allows you to upload pictures of your trips so others can get inspiration on where to go next. Such an incredible idea and I am so proud of her, I can’t wait to see the future of this app🌟🌍☀️✈️💛
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your heartfelt review! I’m so happy delighted to have you as part of Ashley’s group chat from the very beginning. We really appreciate your support and recognition of the hard work. It's great to hear that the app has been helpful for connecting with friends while solo traveling and providing inspiration through shared trip photos. Your pride and excitement for the future of the app mean the world to us. We can't wait to continue this journey together and bring even more fantastic features to enhance your travel experiences!
Love this app!!
I love to solo travel but it can be difficult to make friends in some places. I recently did a trip round the US where hostels aren’t quite as social plus there sometimes aren’t any at all! This app was super helpful for finding people to meet with and get tips off whilst I was there.
You can see which travellers are nearby which is great as you can then directly message them, enabling you to make plans quickly with people who’s dates definitely work with yours. It’s also great that you can plan trips in advance with other likeminded people!
Also, I love the feature where you can connect your Instagram to your profile because it adds an element of safety - especially as a solo female traveller!
Overall, a great app that I will continue to use!! Plus, I follow the creator (Ashley) online and she is so lovely!! :)
A huge THANK YOU for this app!
I absolutely adore travelling.
However my friends are often busy and sometimes they even cancelled the trip at the last moment.
This app is my saviour! This is exactly what you need to match with people who are serious about travelling! You can easily organise the trips and be sure that it will work out!
I love the option of creating travel groups together. It is perfect for those who fancy travelling with groups.
Definitely worth your time!
