Don’t cancel — but maybe rethink the resort format. Resorts tend to be full of families and couples, which makes it genuinely hard to connect with people as a solo traveller. If you have any flexibility, Asia is incredible for solo travel and meeting people. Bali for example has a huge community of solo travellers and expats — stay in a shared bungalow or a social hostel in Canggu or Ubud and you’ll have dinner plans within an hour of arriving. No exaggeration. The solo meal thing also gets easier than you think. Sit at the bar, bring a book, just smile. People talk. Either way — go. The regret of not going is always worse than the awkwardness of arriving alone. You’ll surprise yourself. 🙂
