You have done the hostel nights, the overnight buses, and the spontaneous detours. That appetite for discovery is still there. So, what comes after classic backpacking? Next-level solo travel is about depth, not just distance. It is about experiences that feel utterly yours, with expert support behind the scenes so you can travel boldly and smoothly.
With Blank Canvas, you can step into Authentic Inclusive Bespoke Travel and see the world as itis meantto be seen, solo yet never alone.
What does next-level solo look like
Next-level solo travel swaps generic routes for original moments that match who you are now. You still crave freedom, but you also want substance. That could be a private ranger walk at dawn, a cooking lesson with a local chef, or a train journey that stitches together art, food, and wild landscapes. The thread is the same, authenticity with comfort where it matters and the right dose of challenge.
You set the pace. We shape the path. Our personal concierge team helps you refine each day, handles the logistics, and stays on hand for pivots along the way. You keep the spontaneity, you lose the stress.
How to get an authentic travel experience
- Authenticity starts with intention. Ask yourself what you truly want to feel and learn on this trip. Then look for ways to go smaller and more local.
- Choose experiences led by people who live there, not just operate there.
- Think independent guides, family- run boats, and neighborhood food tours.
- Trade the selfie spot for the story. Visit markets in the early hours, join a morning ritual, take the local train, or volunteer your time with accredited conservation partners.
- Slow down. Spend an extra nightin one place and letthe rhythm ofthe area sink in
- Be respectful. Learn greetings, dress appropriately for cultural sites, and follow local etiquette. Authenticity is mutual.
What is a bespoke travel experience?
A bespoke travel experience is built from the ground up for you. It is not a pre-set template with a few swaps. We begin with a conversation about your interests, adventure levels, non-negotiables, and curiosities.
From there, we design an itinerary that is a perfect fit for you, from daily flow to accommodation style, from transport choices to time for serendipity.
At Blank Canvas,” bespoke” means being personal to you. There will be one point of contact shaping your trip, adjusting it as needed, managing the details and solving any problems that may arise.
What is a personalised travel experience?
Personalised travel is the practical expression of bespoke. It is the day-to-day touches that feel like they were made for you. A guide waiting with your favourite coffee order. A kayaking session that matches your skill level. A room that is quiet, sunlit, and near the pool because you like an early swim. It is the difference between a good trip and one that feels effortless.
If you are ready for that level of detail, our team specialises in creating a travel experience that fits your style, pace, and priorities.
Where you can go, solo and next level
Here are a few ideas to spark your planning.
- East Africa for wildlife and wonder. Combine a conservation-led safari with time by the Indian Ocean. Picture tracking elephants at sunrise, then snorkelling over coral reefs. If primates are on your list, we can advise on the best time to visit Uganda gorillas or the best time to visit Rwanda gorillas, so your trek lands in the sweet spot for weather and visibility.
- Thailand for culture, cuisine, and coast. Swap the backpacker loop for small islands, jungle retreats, and intimate food workshops in Chiang Mai or Bangkok. Our extensive local knowledge helps you to weave temples, street food, and quiet beaches into one seamless route,
- Namibia for big skies and solitude. Drive through dune seas, discover unique elephants in a desert, and stargaze in silence from a remote lodge deck. Add a guided photography session to elevate the experience.
- Japan for craft and calm. Explore artisan workshops, tea ceremonies, and mountain onsens. Travel by rail and stay in a mix of boutique hotels and ryokans to balance comfort and tradition.

Experience matters. We create original routes across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. We partner with local experts who care about their communities. Your booking is protected by ATOL and ABTOT, and you only pay a 15 percent deposit to secure your place.
