  • What our travellers are saying...

    Break away from the ordinary

    With our handpicked solo holidays designed for creative, curious minds. Whether you’re into photography, painting, jewellery making or dance, we’ve searched the world for inspiring, offbeat escapes where you can learn something new, meet like-minded people, and come home with more than just memories.

    From pottery in Andalucía to painting in Italy, these unique experiences are about more than ticking off a destination – they’re about personal growth, creativity, and connection. Many holidays even combine multiple passions, like cooking and ceramics, yoga and painting, or surfing and photography.

    If you’re looking for something different – something with soul – this is your place.

    Learn From Local Creatives

    Each break is hosted by passionate local experts — from goldsmiths in France to painters in Portugal — who bring their craft to life and share it with you through hands-on, small group workshops.

    Travel Solo, Not Alone

    These trips are created for solo travellers who want meaningful connections. You’ll join a small group of people with similar interests and enjoy shared meals, creative sessions, and memorable local experiences — with no single supplement in sight.

    Not Just a Holiday – An Experience

    It’s about more than learning a skill. It’s about stepping into a rhythm that suits you, doing what you love in beautiful surroundings, and leaving with renewed inspiration and new friends from around the world.

    FAQs

    Are all NITGB experiences ‘on request’?
    Toggle FAQ

    As we work with local hosts, in most cases we need to check with them that they can accommodate your customers availability request.  This can take up to 48 hours however our hosts are very responsive and often come back to us within 24 hours.

    We do have a number of experiences on the website however that have live availability and are able to be booked immediately.  The easiest way to identify whether something is on request is if it has a pink button saying ‘check availability’.    If you are able to book immediately the pink button will say ‘book now’.

    Do I need to know how to ride a horse?
    Toggle FAQ

    Not at all! If you don’t know how to ride a horse then you can take one of our beginners holidays. There you will learn from an expert rider all you need to know about riding a horse. Then, when you’re feeling more confident, take on an advanced holiday.
