About AFS
Welcome, travel lovers!
For 37 years, Adventures for Solo Travelers (aka “AFS”) has been creating unforgettable journeys for independent-minded travelers, no couples required. We’re an owner-led, intentionally small company: when you call, you get Suzy or Terry, not a call center.
Your next adventure (and maybe your next best friend) is waiting.

Meticulously planned, down to the last detailSuzy designs every itinerary and previews destinations before presenting them. A travel consultant reads about places, a travel expert has been there.
Right-sized groups that sell out fastIntentionally small groups of seasoned, like-minded travelers, built for conversation and genuine friendship, not following a flag.
Love notes from the Tribe
What an experience! This was so much more than a ‘trip’; it was the adventure of a lifetime. Suzy’s behind-the-scenes work to deliver unique experiences was evident every day. Thank you!
Absolutely loved my first AFS trip. I hate crowds, but this was like being with a group of friends. If you want a stress-free vacation, this group is for you!
Suzy, you are the Oprah of travel! I can’t begin to express my gratitude for all you do for us.
Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone, you’ll return with a whole new group of friends!

FAQ
Every AFSer asked these before their first trip.
Who travels with AFS?
Mostly solo travelers in their 40s to 70s (some younger, some older), curious, active, and like-minded. Age doesn’t matter; all are welcome, and you’ll find plenty of people to hang with.
Do I have to be single?
Not necessarily. At AFS we travel solo but never alone, most guests are single, but occasionally someone joins whose partner can’t travel or doesn’t enjoy it. (AFS is not a dating venue, though 25+ marriages have happened anyway.)
Will I feel comfortable joining alone?
That’s the whole point. You’ll be welcomed on day one, share dinners at a long table, and go home with a posse of new forever friends. Roommate matching means no single supplement, either.
Are the trips physically demanding?
You don’t have to be an athlete, but good health and a reasonable level of fitness matter, most touring is done the old-fashioned way, on foot, averaging 3–5 hours of daily activity.
Why choose AFS?
37 years, 80+ countries, groups intentionally kept small, and an owner who designs (and previews) every itinerary herself. 90% of travelers come back, that’s the real answer.
