FAQ About Solo Trips in Sa Pa

Is Sa Pa a good place to solo travel?

Sa Pa is an excellent destination for someone who is new to solo travel because there are so many incredible places to visit, dishes to sample, and attractions to see. Apart from the abundance of things to see and do, Sa Pa is an excellent destination for a solo trip because it is breathtakingly beautiful and very easy to get to and travel around.

Is Sa Pa safe for solo travelers?

Although it is safe to travel alone in Sa Pa, and many GAFFL users have planned solo trips there, it is important to remember that crime can occur anywhere if you are not cautious and enter dangerous areas or situations. You will be fine if you carry yourself confidently, use common sense, and are aware of your surroundings.

Is Sa Pa expensive for solo travel?

Sa Pa can be a very affordable country for solo travelers, especially if you plan ahead of time and make the appropriate budgeting decisions. If you don't want to go out for food all the time, there are many local markets where you can buy fresh produce, cured meats, and vegetables.

You can save money by staying in a low-cost hotel or hostel and splitting your expenses with other travelers.

- It is always a good idea to purchase travel insurance when traveling alone. You never know what is going to happen. This typically includes medical and transportation insurance, as well as trip cancellation and hotel burglary insurance.

What GAFFL Users Are Saying

Marie
Marie Arroseres
from France

"It’s really nice to have a platform like GAFFL with lots of travelers wanting to do the same as you, a real beautiful cultural exchange. You can meet people so easily and in a trustful way. We were four girls, from French, German and American backgrounds, without knowing each other from before. We spent an amazing week together, 2000km driving, camping on the way. We saw kangaroos, koalas, penguins and pelicans"

“I have found GAFFL to be an amazing tool for finding similar minded travel partners to embark on an adventure. Through GAFFL, I had organized a trip to Mexico City last month and Quazi joined the trip from Victoria, BC. We spent 14 days of straight exploring, hiking, eating and drinking. Quite an amazing experience - all thanks to GAFFL!”

"I accidentally scrolled across GAFFL and I'm so pleased I did. I met Amaia and immediately decided to road-trip together. We're spending 10 days together and it's great because we have so much in common. Couldn't have done it without GAFFL helping us find one another! It has honestly made NZ so much cheaper to explore as I get to split the costs with someone too​"
