The past few years have seen a surge in solo trekking, and Bisesto expects 2018 to be no exception.
"Traveling solo is on the rise, especially for women. Going on an adventure by yourself can give you incredible opportunities that wouldn't be possible if you were traveling with a companion. You'll learn to embrace new cultures more personally, make friends outside of your comfort zone, and discover how independent and self-sufficient you really are."
She says many travel sites now dedicate much more time to finding deals for solo travel, and these types of trips have quickly become one of the most requested deals at TravelPirates.
