What happens when you want to travel solo—but don’t necessarily want to travel alone? 🌎✈️
In Part 2 of our conversation with Clarissa Cappelletti from WeRoad, we’re diving into the world of group travel, solo adventures, and the surprising connections that can happen when you travel with strangers.
Clarissa explains what makes WeRoad different from traditional group tours, why 90% of WeRoad travelers book their trips solo, and how strangers can quickly become lifelong travel friends. We also talk about the role of WeRoad’s group leaders, the growing importance of connection in a digitally connected world, and why solo travel continues to rise—especially among travelers in their 30s.
Then we get into the big travel trends shaping 2026 and beyond, from the growing popularity of Central Asia and the “Stans” to safari destinations beyond Kenya and Tanzania, the Northern Lights beyond Iceland, and why shoulder season might be the secret to a better trip. Plus, we tackle social media’s influence on travel, the downside of hidden gems going viral, traveling responsibly, and why even people in relationships sometimes choose to take trips on their own.
If you’ve ever wondered whether group travel is right for you, how to meet people while traveling, or where the next big travel trends are headed, this episode is for you.
