New things can be undoubtedly intimidating. The unfamiliar makes us nervous and leaving our comfort zone puts us in a [vulnerable](http://yoganonymous.com/quote-of-the-week-a-person-who-never-made-a-mistake-has-never-tried-anything-new) position, leaving us usually with a list of questions running through our heads. You want to see if this new activity will be right for you and what it involves. This article is here to help you vanquish those fears and put your mind at ease answering the most frequently asked questions about [the Solo Travellers program](https://caaniagara.ca/travel/solo-travellers-club) at CAA Niagara. #### **Who is a Solo Traveller?** Solo traveller’s do not fit one mold and are not necessarily single individuals. Solo travellers can be individuals who are on their own, married with a partner who doesn’t travel, have different travel interests than their friends and family or feel more comfortable traveling in a group atmosphere. #### **What is the Solo Travellers program?** The Solo Travellers program is a social community of like-minded individuals of all ages with a shared interest in travel. The program is organized through CAA Niagara and is committed to finding the best travel opportunities for Solo travellers. This includes researching and creating tours with low or no single supplement making solo travel more affordable. Also, CAA Niagara creates tour itineraries that allow the solo traveller freedom and flexibility to explore what interests them. #### **![Solo-Group-Meeting](https://blog.caaniagara.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Solo-Group-Meeting.png?width=520&name=Solo-Group-Meeting.png)** #### **What kind of social events are there?** Our Solo Travellers social events fall into two categories; **Solo Socials** or **Meet Me There's**. Both events give solo travellers the opportunity to meet other travellers and is a place to interact in-between tour departures.  **Solo Socials** are larger formal events usually occurring in the spring and around the holiday season. These evenings offer fun, food, information and an opportunity to meet others, exchange contacts and share travel stories.  **Meet Me There** events are less formal and could involve a fun activity or meeting at a local restaurant to socialize with other travellers in Niagara. Some events may be limited in numbers due to the venue or location size. Sometimes there are costs associated with our events. These fees vary and simply cover the cost of the activity and/or meal that is included. Check out upcoming[CAA Solo Travellers events](https://caaniagara.ca/events/solo-travellers-club)for event details and to RSVP.  #### **Do I have to be a CAA Member to travel on a CAA Group Tour?** No, you do not have to be a CAA Member to travel on one of our group departures. Although, becoming a member can have added incentives and exclusive member only benefits for select tours. Visit [caaniagara.ca/membership](https://caaniagara.ca/membership) to discover how to become a CAA Niagara Member.  #### **Do I need to travel solo to go on a solo friendly tour?** No, you do not have to travel alone to join a solo friendly tour. Although the tours are geared towards solo individuals, all passengers are more than welcome to have travelling companions.  #### **What is the activity level of the tours?** The activity level varies depending on the itinerary as attractions and activities are unique to each destination. The **Tour Activity Level Ranking** is featured on each tour. The definition of each activity level is listed below; **Easy:** Tour moves at a leisurely pace involving minimal physical activity which includes standing, walking short distances and climbing some steps. A mixture of longer and shorter days with scheduled free time. **Moderate:** Tour requires average physical activity. Traveller should be in good physical health, able to climb stairs, be comfortable standing, and walking moderate distances including uneven surfaces. Itineraries typically include more longer than shorter days. **Active:** To truly experience the destination, traveller should be able to participate in physical activities such as longer walking tours, uneven surfaces, climbing stairs and longer periods of standing.

Our tours provide the option for single accommodations. Single accommodations can be limited depending on destinations and accommodations. #### **Interested in sharing accommodations?** Fun and compatible travel partners and travel buddies are sometimes a missing link to the perfect vacation. Through Solo Connections we try to connect individuals wishing to share. Let your booking agent know if you are interested in sharing accommodations. #### **What is the average age demographic of a group tour?** Our groups often experience a good combination of ages, everything from travellers in their mid-40s to those aged 60 and over depending on the destinations itinerary and activity level.   #### **Are Solo travellers mainly women or men?** Depending on the destination our groups average roughly 80:20 female-to-male. The groups dynamics are constantly changing, and new travellers are getting involved every week. You can travel solo independently, and you can travel solo in a group.
