How to stay confident, connected and self-sufficient when you travel alone
“I’ve travelled with various partners,” says solo RV enthusiast Karin Kirk, “but I do prefer my freedom. I like to do what I feel like doing, rather than having to follow somebody else. Just being independent, really.”
Talk to anyone who hits the road solo and you’ll discover Kirk’s story isn’t an oddity. Whether they take off in their campervan for long weekends on a regular basis or spend most of their time on the road, they’re great advocates for time spent travelling alone. Here’s how to make it work for you.
Get set to go
Choosing the right RV will depend very much on how long you intend to spend on the road. Kirk has been travelling full-time for 19 years and upgraded her motorhome to reflect her circumstances. “When this is how you live, you have to keep everything you own with you, so you need a fairly decent-sized motorhome,” she advises. “Mine is seven meters long and it’s got everything from a toilet and shower to a big fridge-freezer.”
