FAQ About Solo Trips in Australia

Is Australia a good place to solo travel?

Australia 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, Australia is an excellent destination for a solo trip because it is breathtakingly beautiful and very easy to get to and travel around.

Is Australia safe for solo travelers?

Although it is safe to travel alone in Australia, 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 Australia expensive for solo travel?

Australia 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. A hostel can be a great place to meet new people if you are traveling alone, but you can also use GAFFL to connect with other travelers in Australia, share costs, and travel together to save money on your solo trip to Australia.

Essential Solo Travel Tips For A Trip To Australia

- Always let a friend or a family member know where you are & share your location with them via your mobile device.
- Download an offline map and mark all the places you want to go ahead of time so you can navigate effectively.
- Learn essential phrases in the local language so you can react quickly in an emergency.
- 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.
- Just because you're traveling alone doesn't mean you can't take great pictures. Bring a tripod and take some amazing self-portraits.
- Go out and meet locals and make new friends! You can also meet travelers and locals in Australia on GAFFL.

Can you give me an example of how solo tours in Australia are different from Tour Companies?

Absolutely! Think about hiking the Grand Canyon. A traditional tour company will charge you thousands of dollars to put you in a group to hike the Grand Canyon together.

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​"
