Travel safety

When travelling alone, safety should be your first priority.

Before you set off, plan your route and share it with family or friends. This way they will know roughly where you are, which is crucial in case of emergencies. Also set up a schedule for regular updates of your location. This could be a daily text message, email or phone call, making your loved ones more reassured about your safety.

Nowadays, there are a number of applications available for real-time location sharing.

Choosing the right app, such as Find My Friends or Google Maps, can significantly increase your safety. Some even offer additional safety features, such as SOS buttons to alert designated contacts of a potential threat. It’s worth checking that your chosen app has these options and making sure that both you and your loved ones know how to use it.

It is also worth researching the areas you will be travelling through before setting off.

Seek information about places considered less safe and, if possible, try to avoid them. Take extra care in unfamiliar places, especially after dark, avoiding stopping in isolated or poorly lit areas.

However, the most important thing may be to trust your own intuition.

If something seems worrying or dangerous to you, it probably is. Don’t ignore your gut feelings – if you feel you should leave a place, do so. Being prepared to change your plans in response to a developing situation is a significant aspect of travelling that can provide not only safety but also peace of mind.

Travelling in a campervan as a solo traveller is a fascinating experience that, with the right preparation and care, can become an unforgettable adventure. Remaining cautious and responsible for your safety is the key to enjoying every moment of your trip, exploring new places and creating unforgettable memories, while being confident that you are doing everything you can to make your journey safe.

Route planning

Effective route planning is key to maximising your time and resources.

Set destinations but leave room for spontaneity – it is often the unplanned adventures that become your most treasured memories. Navigation apps can help you find the best routes and places of interest along the way, as well as information on campsites and caravanning-friendly destinations.

Making contacts

Travelling solo does not have to mean being alone all the time.

Take the opportunity to make new friends and integrate with local communities. Attend local events, join travel groups on social media or travel apps. Being open and friendly will make it easier to make new contacts and make your trip a richer experience.

Dealing with loneliness

Despite the many positives, travelling solo can sometimes lead to moments of loneliness.

Finding a hobby that you can develop on the go, such as photography, journal writing or stargazing, can help fill the empty moments. Regular exercise will not only improve your wellbeing, but can also be an opportunity to meet others.

Technical security

Last but not least, the preparation of your campervan for solo travel is essential.

Check the condition of your vehicle before setting off, including tyres, brakes and lights. Make sure you carry basic repair tools and spare parts such as tyres and light bulbs. Don’t forget to equip yourself with essentials for a comfortable life on the road, such as hygiene products, clean water and food supplies.
