Original blog post featured on The Journal by Intrepid Travel, by Vanessa Stofer. Central America is so much more than “that skinny bit” connecting two great continents – this isthmus (yes, there’s a word for that) packs a mighty punch on its own. With seven countries under its narrow belt, it’s a stunning kaleidoscope of […]
Original blog post featured on The Journal by Intrepid, by Julie Faye Cermansky. Italy isn’t all cozy gondola rides in Venice and romantic Vespa rides through Rome. There are some incredible cities that ooze with experiences for solo travel, you just need to know where to go. Not to say that a trip to the […]
Original blog post featured on The Journal by Intrepid, written by Tayla Gentle. As a woman travelling solo you run the gamut of emotions; everything from liberating highs to paralysing fears can cross your adventuring path. For me, independent travel has always been an incredibly freeing experience – I am woman, hear me roar/snore/speak terrible […]
Written by Peregrine Travel Centre SA client Bron Gascoigne. I recently went on my first Exodus Tour – “Walking the Prosecco Hills”. With a name like that, I knew what I was getting myself in for .. or so I thought. The trip was everything I expected, and more. Friendly people, lush countryside, outstanding architecture, […]
Original blog post featured on The Journal by Intrepid, by Liv Bohn. While most of South East Asia is suitable for women exploring alone, these are spots I have visited that I think are really safe, friendly and comfortable as a solo female traveller. Not to mention, totally beautiful! If it’s your first time in […]
Original blog post featured on The Journal by Intrepid, by Marie-France Roy. For many of us, the way we travel starts to change around the age of 50. We enjoy spending longer in a place, while discovering its history and culture. We put more emphasis on comfort, more emphasis on a temperate climate, good food, […]
Written by Peregrine Travel Centre SA team member Adriana. I’ve always been fortunate enough to be able to travel with family or friends, even on past group tours I’ve always had at least one friend with me as a travel companion. When the opportunity arose for me to embark on a 15-day Geckos Adventures tour […]
Travelling alone doesn’t mean you have to travel alone. One of the best ways I’ve found to explore a country, during my two years of solo travel, is to join a tour group. Travelling solo in a group means you still get to feel like a wild adventurer exploring the world (because you are) but you’ve […]
Check out Intrepid Travel’s latest video on the amazing Burma Sailing Trip. Head off the tourist trail (and seemingly off the map) as you dive headfirst into a Myanmar sailing adventure through the remote Myeik Archipelago. Setting off from the hustle and bustle of Phuket, explore lush rainforest, swim in turquoise waters and chill out […]
Since the Spanish first set foot on Mexican soil in 1519, the stepped, crumbling and jungle-covered scattered ruins of the south-eastern Yucatan Peninsula have fascinated the outside world. They’re the legacy of the most sophisticated and formidable people ever to dominate Central America: These pyramids, temples, holy places and sacrificial sites attract the curious minds […]
It reads like a quiz question: “What capital city has streets named after Charles De Gaulle, Mao Tse Tung, Tito, Pasteur, and Jawaharlal Nehru?”. In case the headline didn’t give it away, it’s Phnom Penh. In this city, which walks in the present while shrouded in shadows of its past, you’ll find enough history to keep […]
I thought I knew Vietnam. I grew up watching movies like Good Morning Vietnam and Platoon, and episodes of China Beach on TV. My parents took me to see Miss Saigon at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre. Even though I was born several years after the fall of Saigon, 1980s media filled in the blanks for […]
India has a reputation as one of the most beautiful and, frankly, bizarre countries on the planet. But it’s also got a reputation, rightly or wrongly, as a slightly dangerous place for women to travel alone. Now we’ve never had any problems on our group tours in India (our guides know all the areas to […]
