Hi, I’m Alyssa,
Your Solo Travel Specialist
I’ve always been drawn to solo travel — the freedom to explore on your own terms, at your own pace.
Over the years, I’ve travelled extensively on my own, experiencing both the independence it offers and the challenges that come with it.
In my early 20s, solo travel often meant hostels or joining group tours to meet others. But as travel preferences evolve, so does what we’re looking for. Time becomes more valuable, and the way we travel starts to matter more.
Staying alone in hotels can feel isolating. Traditional group tours often don’t feel quite right either — whether it’s being surrounded by couples, rigid itineraries, or added single supplements.
What many solo travellers are really looking for is something in between.
A way to travel independently — but not alone.
To experience a destination more deeply, while sharing parts of the journey with like-minded people.
That’s why SoloMade was created.
A space designed specifically for solo travellers — offering thoughtfully curated small group journeys that balance connection, independence, and a more considered way to travel.
With over 27 years of experience in the travel industry, combined with my own personal travel experiences, every journey has been designed with this in mind.
A more connected way to travel solo.

SOLOMADE SMALL-GROUP JOURNEYS
Thoughtfully designed small-group journeys for solo travellers who want to experience the world in a more personal and meaningful way.
Our hosted journeys combine beautiful destinations, boutique stays, local experiences, and thoughtfully paced itineraries within a small group of like-minded travellers.
Depending on the journey, groups may travel alongside a dedicated expert local guide throughout, or be personally hosted by SoloMade with carefully selected local guides along the way.
With private rooms always included, SoloMade journeys are designed to feel supportive, immersive, and social — while still allowing space to experience each destination comfortably.
You’ll experience a balance of curated experiences, free time, genuine local connection, and the comfort of travelling with trusted guidance throughout.
