Connecting me, myself and I

Actual solo trips around the world

After eight years, we’ve realised one thing: people suck. Like, really suck. So, instead of connecting them, we’re helping you get far, far away. 

Enter MeRoad: three limited edition itineraries for the ultimate solo adventure. Travel to the most isolated spots on earth, where you are guaranteed not to make dreaded small talk with anyone.

Utqiagvik Expedition

6 Days

Formerly known as Barrow, you’re more likely to pronounce this town’s name correctly than you are to see another person. There are literally no roads that lead to Utqiagvik, the town is only accessible by plane or barge, and sits right at the top of Alaska which means winter consists of 65 days of complete darkness. Therefore, even if there were another human near you, you wouldn’t be able to see them. Bliss.

Snow Desert Expedition

You arrive in Utqiaġvik, it’s freezing but beautiful. For the next 4 days you’ll be going on a snow desert expedition, with a very particular mode of transportation; huskies and a sled. You bring plenty of layers and a map of the region (phone signal can be hit-and-miss this far north).

Arctic Beach

Today you’ll explore a beach like no other, an arctic beach. Known as the “Gateway to the Arctic,” the area is known for its traditional whaling history, so you’ll spend some time learning about Iñupiaq culture at the Cape Smythe Whaling and Trading Station.

Wild ice skating

To finish off your solo adventure, you’ll try your hand at wild ice-skating. No, this isn’t just any ice rink, you’ll be skating on a frozen lake. So lace up your skates, and embrace the chill – because on the ice, the only thing you'll need to tolerate is your own company.

Palmerston 360

20+ Days

Palmerston Island is a part of the Cook Islands and is literally in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where the nearest town is 260 miles away. With just 35 inhabitants, this isolated haven offers the perfect escape from the incessant jabbering of civilization. So pack your bag and your disdain for small talk, because on Palmerston Island, you'll find the solitude you've always dreamed of, whether you like it or not.

Robinson Crusoe Experience

After an 8-day trip from Rarotonga you finally arrive on Palmerston. The next 3 days will be spent exploring, but like a true desert island experience, you’ll have to construct your own shelter, forage for food, and master survival skills over the next 36 hours.

Hermit Crab Racing

It’s time to take part in a festivity unique to the island: hermit crab racing. You set up a racetrack and crown a crab the winner, while you're left to marvel at the absurdity of it all and wonder if maybe you’re starting to spiral into low-key madness.

Life's a Beach

Your final day is a free day. You can decide with yourself if you want to check out some of the island’s other beaches, which all look exactly the same, since the whole island is only 1 square mile in size. Then it’s time to prepare for your 14-day voyage back home.

Oymyakon Express

5 Days

The coldest, inhabited place on earth (but don’t worry, there are only 500 residents), this Siberian town has an average temperature of -58 degrees. A true opportunity for adventure, where despite its inhabited status, you’re unlikely to have to talk to anyone due to the fairly stark language barrier and fact that very few people leave their houses.

Putting on layers

After a long journey, you settle into your abode for the week. The next two days will be spent steadily adding layers of clothing to your body as you acclimatise to the harsh conditions.

'Culinary' experience

It’s impossible to grow crops here, so you’ll take part in a solo cooking class, where you’ll whip up some local delicacies including reindeer meat, frozen fish and ice cubes of horse blood with macaroni (yes, really).

Adding more layers

Since it’s unlikely you’ll be getting sufficient nutrients from the limited diet on offer, you’ll need to add more layers to your layers. The next 2 days will be free to spend as you wish (we advise bringing a very good book).
