You don't need a partner for spicy travel

You don't need a partner for spicy travel

I think one of the biggest misconceptions about “spicy travel” is that you need someone to do it with. 🌶️✈️

You don’t.

Some of my favourite experiences while travelling have happened because I was alone. Going to a workshop where I knew nobody. Taking myself to a burlesque show. Booking the weird activity I was curious about. Wandering into a sex-positive bookstore. Spending an afternoon at a spa. Doing something that maybe I wouldn’t have had the courage to suggest if I were travelling with someone else.

And that’s kind of the whole point of Spicy Planet.

Pleasure travel doesn’t have to mean s**x. It doesn’t have to mean hooking up. And it definitely doesn’t require a partner.

Sometimes it’s literally just asking yourself: what am I curious about? What would I try if nobody else’s opinion mattered?

Travel already gives us this funny little permission slip to be a different version of ourselves for a few days. Might as well get curious about that version of you too. 😏🌍

So yes, couples are welcome here. But solo travelers? VERY welcome.

Where would you go solo? 👀
